More about this scene

The town developed as a Victorian holiday resort, as many did on the North Wales Coast. This parade of shops, housed in a building displaying the influence of the eastern reaches of the British Empire, suggests a steady trade. There was a brief respite for the men unloading the cart, and the Refreshment Rooms enticed customers with its selection of eatables. Charles Fisher offered 'complete House Furnishings' and the fashionable linoleum.

We have just been over for the 80th commemorative ceremony and exhibition in Penmairmayr with her and my 2 sisters...it was very sad and at the same time great to be able to take her back.

A Wet Weekend In Wales!
I used to work and study in Manchester for several years in the 1960's and frequently travelled back to my home town of Hatch End to see my girlfriend, Angela Chapuis. Sometimes she would come up north to see me. One wet weekend in April 1967 Angela and I set off from Manchester to visit North Wales in my old car.  We stayed in youth hostels and hoped to climb Snowdon as both of us enjoyed outdoor ...see more

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.
