More about this scene

This view was taken from the Town Hall, with the Market Cross in the foreground, a 33ft-high column dating from 1768. Beyond in the centre of the road is the original Shambles building, an enclosed market erected in 1825. It is claimed that Stockton has the widest High Street in England - a good example of early town planning! The wonderful historic façade of the shops on the left was unforgivably removed in 1970 for a new shopping development.

Happy

I lived in Stockton for 25yrs and remember, as a child who was raised by a single parent with two sisters, not having a lot but enjoying life so very much. Playing outside with my tennis balls, jumping double unders with my skipping rope and two friends, swinging around the lamp post, marbles, hopscotch all kinds of fun outdoors and not even knowing the difference of some that had money and those that didn't. Life was ...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.
