This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

Growing Up In The Castle Rock Hotel

I grew up in Woolacombe and Mortehoe but my most vivid memories was living in the bungalow of Castle Rock, scrambling down the cliffs to Combesgate Beach with my surf board from Bert Yoe's.

Castle Rock Hotel(1980s).

I was being sentimental and thought I'd look up Castle Rock Nursing Home as I spent some great years growing up in said building when it was a hotel. Got directed to my cousin, Faye. You found Ursula yet? Hope all is well.

Castle Rock Memories

Every year from 1968 to 1975 we used to make the annual pilgrimage from our home in Saddleworth near Huddersfield to the Casle Rock. In the early days, before the motorway was built, it used to take us two days with an overnight stay at Stroud, but boy was it worth it when you arrived; two weeks of sheer bliss. I went back in 1985 I think it was, and parked up, walked in and asked for a room, only to be told it was a nusing home. One day I hope to return and see it as it is now.
