    More about this scene

    Yorkshire Street was one of the main shopping streets in the town. Along here could be found McDonnell's store, which was the place to go for fresh Irish eggs and home-cured Irish ham. Then there was the shop of Harvey Pearse, bookseller and stationer; John Hurst the music seller, pianoforte and harmonium dealer; Williamson's the jewellers and silversmiths; and F C Greenwood, boot and shoe maker.

    Catley Lanehead
    I was born in Catley Lanehead in 1955 and lived in the back of the shop at the top of Smallshaw Road with my mum and dad. My nan Agnes lived across the road from the Chapel further down and not long after we moved a few doors down from her next to The Black Dog pub. I remember open doors in the street and freely going in to play. One day when my mum was having a chat and a brew with the lady in Brown Hill farm I went up ...see more

    Mildred Morris's Memories Of Cronkeyshaw School
    When I started at Cronkeyshaw School I went straight into the second class as I had missed out on the baby class. In those days some children attended from the age of 3 years and the little ones went to sleep on mats in the afternoon for a short period. The classrooms were far removed from the ones in the present day. In my first class we had an open coal fire with a fireguard. I can ...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.
