More about this scene

All Saints was virtually rebuilt during the late 1840s. The west tower was heightened in 1861, but the lower part is 13th-century, or perhaps even earlier, as the walls here are 6ft thick and there is also a garderobe chamber. In the church there is a monument to Sir William Bradshaigh and his wife.

St James Church Poolstock Wigan
I was born in Poolstock lane in Wigan and this was my local church. I particularly remember comming to the church for an Ascension Day service in the late 50s early 60s before the annual school trip to Rhyl. I was christened at this church and many members of my family were married and had funeral services here. Does anyone have any photographs of the Paxton or Dickinson family of Poolstock or can remember anything about them?

My grandma, Louisa Atherton, grew up in the Grayson family in Wigan. They later relocated to King Street, Eccles, Manchester, Lancashire. She had a son, Norman Atherton who was in the army(Burma). Are there any relatives out there? Norman emigrated to Australia. She later married Samuel Brown.

Haigh Hall In Haigh
That's why it's called 'Haigh' Hall and not Wigan Hall. It's NEAR Wigan.

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.
