More about this scene

Trefriw, like so many Welsh villages, boasts a long history which is not always evident from the predominantly 19th- century buildings. It is now best known for its woollen mill, a magnet for tourists. Yet the quality of its spring water attracted great Roman interest, and the Trefriw Wells offered recuperative bathing facilities through to Victorian times, and are still a lure for visitors. The Fairy Falls Hotel was one of many built to welcome the leisured classes.

Trefriw My Home In The 40's And 50's.
This picture was taken a year after I left Trefriw for Canada. I was married at St. Mary's Church and lived at Tan Dderwen near Crafnant Lake, later at Glanrafon in the village. My parents were the Proprietors of the Victoria Hotel in Llanrwst and I have many happy memories of living in Trefriw, and this was the view from my window. The bus to Conwy stopped in front of the building on the ...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.
