This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

A Selection of Memories from West Boldon

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from West Boldon

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

In the late fifties we used to live in the old Rectory at the bottom of the hill - the photos looking uphill are taken from outside the garden wall. I guess the house has gone now. I believe one of the Liddell family ( of Alice in Wonderland fame) was rector here at one time, Charles Dodgson ( Lewis Carroll) apparently was a visitor.There was an autograph by one of the Liddells scratched into one of the upstairs windows, but I don't suppose it was preserved?
looking at the picture my house isnt even built its weird to see how much it has changed over the years... i live next door to the church- where it looks like their is just land!
I have an old photograph and I believe it is this street before some of the buildings were built and it was taken further down. However, the Church in the background is the same. John Oswald Clazey and his family are gathered at a place called Boldon House on the back of the photo. There is a picture of the family in the back yard and then a photo of them in the front by a brick wall of sorts. I am more than happy to provide a copy if there is any interest.
