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.

I remember being taken into youngs shop as a small child where they sold more than drapery. Upstairs there were rolls of lino and the whole shop smelled of it. Downstairs I was fascinated by the cash cups that ran up tubes to the cashier and came back on overhead wires with change for the customer. No till in this shop in the days of the 1940's. Grandmother lived opposite the grammar school and during visits i was taken for walks through the churchyard and on to the park to feed the ducks.
