More about this scene

The core of the old village lies at the north end of Central Avenue, where the road becomes Bridgford Road. Here stands the Hall and the parish church of St Giles, where my uncle was married in August 1955. The tower and part of the south aisle are medieval. The rest, much larger in scale as befitted this now prosperous suburb, was started in 1896, and is a convincing essay in Perpendicular Gothic. This view looks through the Church Drive gateway towards the west tower.

Anyone remember the DJs Derek, Tex, Dave and Brian the manager. It was very popular back then, packed every night. When I worked in the hotel I met the Hollies and Tommy Cooper. Many footballers used to stay there. ...see more

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.
