More about this scene

Leasowe was built by Ferdinando, fifth Earl of Derby and Lord of Man in 1593 as a summer residence. During the English Civil War James Stanley, the seventh earl, held the Isle of Man for the King, and Leasowe suffered and fell into ruin. It was known to the locals as Mockbeggar Hall. The castle was rebuilt and the castellated front was added in 1818. Leasowe later became a convalescent home.

Leasowe Castle
I worked for Hen in the hotel, he was a great boss. I did not know Jean but would have loved to have met her, the only advice I got of Jean was through a medam saying I would go far in life and that she loved her Ken and missed him and did not like changes to the hotel, she said where has her stables gone, it was the old building we used to do functions in across the car park .

My Family
My Mum's cousin Ken bought Leasowe Castle and we were all very excited for him especially my Mum! We lived down near London but went to visit as much as my Dad could get time off work. Ken and his lovely wife Jean worked so hard to make this castle as beautiful as you see it today and my brother and I have such happy memories of the time we spent there with the family before our mum died far too young in 1985.

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.
