I worked for awhile in Oswestry as a teenager wiring the telephone exchange up with a team. We stayed in lodgingsin the week in town, not far from the park. I cannot remember their surname but Derek and June were their first names. They were lovely people and as I was young they looked after me and took me to concerts as I was into music. They even bought me a trench coat after I said I would like one. They were so ...see more

I also remember arriving at Park Hall Camp as a very nervous young man in September 1972. Looking back they would have to be some of the best times of my life. I have been in Australia since 1983 but on my next trip back home to Yorkshire ( yes I still call England home) I will be reliving the trip to Oswestry via Gobowen train station.

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

Example of image retouching:

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.
