More about this scene

King Henry III gave exclusive rights to hold a Wednesday market, and granted a charter to the town in 1251. It was discovered in 2004 that the town had 'lost' this historic charter. After searching the public record office in Kew, the Uttoxeter Archaeological Society located the original document. This photograph was taken in the days when Uttoxeter had a much larger market. In addition to the Wednesday market, a Saturday market was established on 2 January 1904; it was opened by the Chairman of the Uttoxeter Urban Council, Mr A C Bunting, Esq, JP, CC. At 6 o'clock in the evening a grand torchlight procession took place, accompanied by the music of a brass band.

My school friend Elisabeth Stewart lived almost opposite and I remember going for a swim there with her - we both went to the school at Abbots Bromley, Wonderful times and her parents were so good to me, I remember she had an older sister - does anyone know where they are now ?

Bradley St
I was born in 1953 and went to Bradley St Primary. I recall there were three girls who dressed the same; the Pearl triplets. I remember going on a school trip to Heathrow Airport and losing my souvenir cast metal model plane on the coach/bus. I cried so much that my mum had to smack my legs to shock me into stopping. That was in what was being used as a car park, opposite the school. There were huge reels of cabling ...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.
