More about this scene

Along with Northwich and Nantwich, Middlewich is one of the three salt towns of Cheshire. It sits over the old Roman town of Salinae. Salt was a very important commodity in the past, so much so that salt ('sal' in Latin) was often used as a means of payment for soldiers in the Roman army - hence our words 'salary' today. Wheelock Street, pictured here, is now a busy one-way road.

F E Rogers Of Middlewich
Does anybody have any information on Mr. & Mrs. F. E. Rogers who lived at the "Culver House" in Middlewich? I believe (but could be mistaken) they lived there during the 1930s through the 1960s. I have an old book that was once given to Mrs. Rogers by a friend named "Jessie" or maybe "Tessie". The birthday card that was inside the book mentions a bookstore in Crewe. I live in Texas & ...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.
