More about this scene

The medieval manor house, Gawthorp Hall, was bought by the Harewood family, and John Carr was asked to design the new stable block. Shortly afterwards in 1756 he was asked to provide plans for a new house. The foundations of Harewood House were laid in 1759, and work continued for the next 23 years. Gawthorp Hall was demolished, and its foundations now lie beneath the lake. Lancelot 'Capability' Brown landscaped the grounds of this 1800-acre estate, which opened to the public in 1950 and now attracts over 300,000 visitors each year. Hidden within the estate is the exterior of the 'Emmerdale' village where much of the TV series is filmed.

Childhood Memories
I was also born in Harewood in 1971 and share the same memories as Jennie, racing round the castle and building dens in the woods, I also think we had the steepest sledging hill ever!!!

Childhood Memories
I was born in Harewood in 1971 and lived 14 amazingly happy childhood years there!! My father was born there in 1947 and he has amazing tales of his childhood too!! My memories were of taking a picnic and heading out on adventures to "the rockies" with tunnels and caves; now I understand they were built by the landscape artist Capability Brown.  We would venture deep into the woods to "the roman pool" and catch ...see more

The Norfolk Family
I am John Howard Norfolk and although I have never lived in Yorkshire I know that my Norfolk family were farmers, millers and tanners in Harewood and nearby Wharfedale villages for many hundreds of years until the late 1800's. I have found records of my Norfolk family living in the parish going back to the early 1600's. I have visited the church in Harewood and found several family graves - how alarming it ...see more

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. 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.
