More about this scene

In 1879 Stratford acquired a striped, turreted, gabled fantasy known as the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. Mercifully, some might say, it burned down in 1926. A new Memorial Theatre opened in 1932, incorporating surviving parts of its predecessor. It was renamed the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in 1961. In 1986, a second theatre, the Swan, was created in the remains of the 1879 building, as seen in this picture.

I remember reporting on time share appartments at the former home of Danny La Rue, attending magistrates court and council meetings and eating at Pizzaland which was conveniently across the road from the tiny offices. This is now a book shop I think but ...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.
