More about this scene

We are looking south, with a good view of Yarm Town Hall, built in 1710 and standing in splendid isolation in the centre of the High Street. The high chimney visible over the roof tops served a traditional skinyard treating sheep skins and other animal skins. The town sits in a big loop of the River Tees, and has on rare occasions in the past seen several feet of floodwater standing in the High Street.

Evacuation
On Friday two days before the Second World War broke out on the 3rd of September 1939 I was evacuated to Yarm.

On arrival we all paraded in the town centre square to find out who we were to be looked after by, ...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.
