More about this scene

Since this view was taken considerable changes have occurred. The tailor's shop to the left was shortly taken over by Fells, Cycle & Wireless dealers (see W115023 on page 38-39), who also had premises in Norfolk Street, and until recently was Belfast's linen store. The next two shops, Stevens Bros (suppliers of pianos and organs) and the drapers, Pollard Brothers, are now one building - occupied by estate agents. One point of stability is Evison's clothing store which has traded here for over hundred years.

Memories Of Trafalgar Row
I enjoyed seeing the photo graphs of the Wisbech canal and especially those showing Trafalgar Row and the river bank with English Brothers wood yard and a coaster moored along side. I used to live at number 10A which was behind and attached to number 10 where I believe one of your commentators Sandra Ireland used to live, Originally this building had been one property and apparently at one time had been an ...see more

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

Example of image retouching:

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.
