More about this scene

The garage in the centre of the photograph has been demolished to make way for a new post office and convenience store, but the building in the foreground, the Cosey Social Club, still remains. Another centre for socialising is the pub – the building with the white gable end beyond the garage. As a collector of pub signs, I find its sign, depicting a fox cub in the snow, particularly appealing.

Harmel House
My family were looking for a house in Cheshire and looked around Harmel House. I was only 5 years old ( in 1964) but wanted so much to live there. In the garden was what I believed to be a moat full of dead frogs. I am 56 now and still dream about that house! I wonder if it still exists? I notice from your postings that a family called Sims-Holditch lived there around 1946 and they were musicians. I believe ...see more

Good Old Days..
I lived in Haslington from 1943 to approximately 1954, it was a great place for a child to grow up. I lived in Cross Rd and my G'ma lived in Fields Rd. I remember the Post Office and Haberdashery next to it, also the Smithy across the road. I could be gone across the fields all day and my family would not have to worry about me. The golf course and surrounding fields were a great place to be, with the stream ...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.
