More about this scene

Dedicated to St Mary and St Stephen, the parish church was rebuilt in the late 1840s; all that is left of an earlier 12th-century structure is the lower part of the west tower. The Roman Catholic church, which is dedicated to St Thomas of Canterbury, was designed by J A Hansom, who was also the architect for Birmingham Town Hall; he is best remembered for the Hansom cab.

Upper Town 1955 1969
I was born in 1955 in a house in Upper Town. As a child I remember roller skating all the way down Upper Town and looking over this bridge into the river Waskerley.

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.
