What does this mean?

This image is a coloured postcard: These coloured postcards were produced by the Frith company in the 1950s and 60s, in the earliest days of coloured postcard production, and were printed using a process called collo-colour. Although the results look quite basic to modern eyes, used to the wonders of the modern printing process, these postcards have a certain period charm as delightfully nostalgic ephemera items from the not-so-distant past.

How It's Changed ( Not For The Better !
My family moved into the kenton area some sixty years ago, i lived there until i moved to Hayes when i got married Twenty years later and didnt visit until ten years ago when i went by bus to the Hyde ( Edgeware road) i was both shocked, saddened and dismayed by how seedy looking the whole kenton/kingsbury corridor is now and how quickly the whole area has gone downhill in the short time since i moved away.

Happy Days
I was born in 1945 and lived in Kenton between 1948 and 1968. I have lots of memories of Uxendon Manor primary school and Claremont County secondary school and remember quite a few of the teachers. Gooseacre Parade were our nearest shops and memories of them are still quite clear. My younger brother and I used to go to Woodcock Park which was quite close for the swings roundabout and seesaw which I have many happy memories of Vic Hall

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.
