More about this scene

Comparison with the view of 1913 shows that by 1932 the original diamond-shaped surround to the clock face has been removed, but to this day the marks left by it can be clearly seen on the stonework. Also gone is the gas lamp over the wrought iron gates. Most noticeable by its appearance since 1913 is the town's war memorial or cenotaph, which was erected in 1925 in memory of those who fell in the First World War. The erection of the memorial was largely due to the untiring efforts of the rector of the period, the Rev Mackie, whose memory is perpetuated today in the town's Mackie Drive. The silver birches (left) have grown considerably over the 19 years between the two photographs.

My First Home, For A Few Days
I don't remember much about Sunnyfield House, except I was born there in 1948. I knew the midwife, Nurse Garfield, who delivered me. When I came to Australia, in 1966, she sent me a homemade Christmas cake, by sea, after months at sea it tasted great, When we passed Sunnyfield Hose my Dad and Mum would point out the window of the room where I was born.

Mam

My mothers name at that time was Gorgina Mary Mc Cormick. I always remember a photo she had of herself in her uniform outside the hall. My mother is no longer alive and I am on a discovery of my past so any memories any one may have regarding above would be most ...see more

Gisborough Hall Nursing Home
This photo rings back memories of delivering meat to nursing home on a bi weekly basis, In the 1960’s this hall was used as a nursing home and my dad supplied the meat. My memories were of the heat from the kitchen, the smell of nursing home patients and the trophies shot by previous Lord Gisborough’s on their safari’s throughout the Empire. I bet that they still hang on the walls,somewhere

However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
