Pictures and
Postcards
Many pictures, particularly postcards, exist of the town. I have
gathered a selection form postcard fairs but John Stone's books contain
a fantastic range.
Francis
Frith Archive
Francis Frith owned a grocery business in
Liverpool, which he sold in the mid-1850s. This money, coupled
with the growing railway system enabled him to travel and set an
objective of photographing every town and village in Britain.
Frith & Co. took full advantage of the late 19th century change in Post
Office rules which allowed privately produced postcards to be posted.
On Thomas' death, his sons continued the business.
Today the Frith archive has over 365,000 photographs of around 7,000
towns and villages.
The archive contains photographs of Malton from the 1950s and can be
searched here.
