This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

Just cannot remember the name of the shop But I do remember the smiles of the staff and their legpulling of we" wee" ones about being careful carrying the charged accumulators home, to keep us up to date with the war.
Fond memories of Seery's shop To supplement my earnings from a paper round, I worked in the back producing packets of crisps, including blue bags of salt. I worked the potatoe peeler, the slicer but not allowed the deep fryer, (dangerous ) packaging and even Saturday deliveries, to as far as Seahouses, as passenger in his three wheeler van Wonderful days for a wee lad in the late 40's
