More about this scene

Continuing south towards Worksop on the A60, the route reaches Langold, situated a mile south of Oldcotes. The village was built to house the coalminers of nearby Costhorpe Colliery, now closed. Out of view on the left is the village, mostly neat former 1950s Coal Board and council houses, and on the right is the main shopping parade along the Doncaster Road. The village had its own cinema, the Palace, the white building with the semi-circular pediment; it is now a bar and snooker hall.

The bottom half of the windows were painted some kind of horrible creamy yellow colour to hide all the machinery etc that was in the area to the right of the door. I have no idea when he first opened up the shop, but I ...see more

School Road
I used to live at 5 School Road nearly 20 years ago.  My mum used to work at Dianes florists on Donny Road and my Dad managed the Corner Pocket snooker club.  I still visit there now as my stepmum lives on Donny Road and my Dad, I'm very sad to say, is buried at Langold cemetery. Langold has so many memories for me from when I was little and I will always cherish them forever.  I would love to visit my old house on School Road.

Donny Road
I used to live opposite these shops and I can honestly say the place is just the same today as when this photo was taken.

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.
