More about this scene

Our picture features Winter's jewellery shop and Petersgate Bridge. The bridge was built in 1868 to link the market square with St Petersgate. Jacob Winter moved his shop to Little Under Bank in about 1880. The three figures on the outside of the building strike bells every 15 minutes. Security-conscious Winter had the contents of his shop windows displayed on a stage system that could be lowered into the cellar by means of a hydraulic lift; it was operated by natural spring water.

Vernon Park
I remember going to Vernon Park so well. We would walk down from Bredbury Bar. There was a large slippery stone at the top of the steps and Mum would lift me to the top and I would slide down. I thought that stone was magic. There was a large bird cage in the park but I think its gone now. The museum was a favorite and when I was about 13 I used to find fossils in Castleton near the Blue John Mines and take them to ...see more

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.
