More about this scene

The Rhymney war memorial to commemorate the local men who gave their lives in the Great War was erected in 1929 and unveiled in the October of that year. Obviously, the names of the soldiers of the Second World War, which are also on the monument, were added to the plinth much later.

Engineering Firms Hymac And Merryweather
Hello, Does anyone remember working for Hymac? Some of their people later went to work for Merryweather in Rassau Industrial Estate around 1980 to 1984. I remember Malcolm Hulett, also Lesley Jones who came from the steel-works. Please send memories.

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:

Before
After

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.
