More about this scene

Here we see the Shandon, a large hydropathic establishment which stands in its own grounds. The hydropathic movement started in the 1830s using ordinary water and offering a variety of treatments, including Turkish, Russian, sitz baths, electrical, douche and vapour. Treatment often involved strict dietary regimes and a lot of cold water.

My memory of Shandon is growing up in the old school flat above the old school/church hall. My dad was the grounds keeper/church officer of Shandon Church. We lived there till the church was sold in 1981 when we had to move to Garelochhead.

Shandon Rhu School
I came across this by chance - I was at school with you, Fraser. I remember coming to an amazing birthday party at your house where your mum had put on an incredible spread, including a plate of Kit Kats which seemed like such a huge treat! Your mum did an amazing show in the kitchen with an emu puppet which helped make a cake appear by magic out the oven. I am returning to Shandon this summer after stints ...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.
