Meynell Road School 1944 1954
I visited & spent happy times in Ecclesfied Park when I was a boy and a pupil at Meynell Road primary, junior & senior school from 1944-1954. It was a very good school & I would like to hear from anyone who could share happy memories of those bygone days. Thanks, George Quixall.

Chew Of Tobacco

Just turned eighteen I was to get employment at Woolley Colliery but had to do my training at Grimthorpe Colliery.

Ye Olde Tankard
Does anyone know the decendants of Moses Yeardley who was a Landlord of the said public house? I am a decendant of his brother Arthur Yeardley, my father was named after him. I know that his Mother was the Landlady of The Royal Oak in Chapletown and that this pub is supposed to be haunted? Hope someone out there can help? I do also know that Moses Yeardley is buried in Ecclesfield cemetry across from the church.

Happy Days
An early memory I have is the Whitsuntide march. We all put on our best Sunday clothes and marched behind a band with our church banner held aloft by the strongest boys. The marching column passed through the village picking up on the way other marching groups of children. These other children belonged to other places of worship e.g. The Wesleyan Chapel. In the end, there was this very long parade of children, all ...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.
