More about this scene

Ingleton is the gateway to the Three Peaks, and has been a popular destination for hill walkers and climbers for over a hundred years. Before the influx of tourists, the town was a centre for mining, tanning and cotton spinning. The famous waterfalls were made accessible in 1885, and provide a circular walk of over four miles between two rivers, the Twiss and the Doe. In nearby Chapel-Le-Dale is a plaque to the 200 railway workers killed during the building of the Ribbleshead Viaduct between 1869 and 1876.

Skirwith Farm Ingleton
For a few years in the late 1940's (I was about 7/8 years old), my parents were avid campers in the primitive way. We had an Austin 7 and ventured out from east Lancs camping at weekends. One venue became a regular weekend site - Skirwith Farm, Ingelton. It was tenanted by a family matriarch, Mrs Lambert, and was worked by her two sons, Thomas and Norman. There was also a daughter, Joan, who married the ...see more

Wartime And Later

That was great for me as it meant that I could keep up with my Ingleton friends, as I spent much of my summer hols staying with ...see more

The Printing Works Premises.
The property on the left of the photograph marked 'Printing Office' is where I grew up and lived until my student days. My parents operated a bakers and confectionery business from the premises. In 1890, when a printing works, it was owned by the Brookes family as can be seen from the sign over the door. Their ownership continued until about 1918, at which time two sisters opened a cafe (Fells Cafe) ...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.
