More about this scene

A hundred years ago, Huddersfield was a collection of villages - now Milnsbridge has been almost absorbed, and is on the outskirts. The town is packed with mills and machinery works. The tram reached here in 1883, and was the first public transport system. Trolleybuses took over in 1934. From 1939 the David Brown company manufactured farm tractors in the town. Prime Minister Harold Wilson was born here, and attended New Street Council School.

Growing Up In Milnsbridge

I lived 100 yards from the school and before I was old enough to go to school I used to go to the school gates and watch the children line up; girls in one half and boys in the other, divided by iron railings, which were later taken ...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.
