More about this scene

For those people who enjoy exploring churchyards and reading old tombstones, this church is an absolute joy. The entire churchyard, and even the paths leading to the door, are all covered with tombstones, some of which date back to the 1600s. Despite centuries of wear, they are still remarkably legible; furthermore, many have been carved to an extremely high standard with the most beautiful lettering.

Buying Sweeties From Mrs Timmins
My Grandmother, Mrs Sant, owned the hairdressers on the High Street. I used to take my 2p to Mrs Timmins Sweet Shop, which was just around the corner to buy my treats. It is such a delight to find this collection.

Black And White House Next To Lower Chequer
This was the family home of Harold and Dora Bagnall (my Grandparents) until the 1960s. The address used to be 21 Hawk Street and I was told as a child the incline next to Lower Chequer was for people to disembark from the stagecoach. I was also told although I cannot confirm this that the Lower Chequer was a stop off on the main road to London. I have very happy memories of my childhood ...see more

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.

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.
