More about this scene

Twinned with Agincourt, Middleham today is a major centre for racehorse breeding and training - 300 horses are stabled around the village. The Memorial School, opposite the majestic Middleham Castle (c1180), was erected in memory of Rector James Birch. It was dedicated as a public school for the town in 1869, and is now a bookshop and gallery. The Queen Victoria fountain records her life story - her birth in 1819, her accession in 1837 and her Jubilee in 1887. The railings were taken away in the Second World War.

Grocers Shop In Middleham
I used to stay with a friend in the 1950's in Middleham. Her parents had a grocers shop in the square and her father also had a mobile shop which he went round rural areas with. They also had a few hens and cows. Her father's name was Bob Doother. The living quarters were above the shop. I have been back to Middleham recently but cannot find the building. If anyone reads this and can give me any ...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.
