More about this scene

The paved area in front of Moot House was a sunny meeting place with mature trees, flower boxes and seats. The sculpture in front of Moot House was one of the first to be given to the town by the Harlow Art Trust. Called 'Chiron', it was bought to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It is the work of Mary Spencer Watson, and she completed the work on the spot. When the library was built, a bronze statue, 'Boy Eating Apple' by Percy Portsmouth, was sited outside.

Our house was in a row which was completed; the rest was a huge building site - magic for exploring kids! I knew Diane Crouch who has written on this site. I went to Broadfields and Netteswell when they were built, but first had to go to Tanys Dell school and then was in the new group for ...see more

Startime Records
I used to spend many an hour in Startime with headphones on listening to what was new. In 69 I went there on my dinnertime from Gilbey's to buy the new Stones album Let It Bleed. There was a queue right round the Market Square doing the same thing. Unbelievable but I got a copy. And I used my paper round money in about 63 to buy a 5 speed racer from Blakes. It was 5 bob a week total cost £16 which was quite a bit then as my dad was on about a fiver a week

Tantalising
In the extreme mid right of the photo one can see the gates to the firm where I did my apprenticeship almost 60 years ago. I wish I had some photos of the firm itself. Brings back many happy memories.

Written While I Can Still Remember

I went to old Harlow College during the war. I remember walking across the fields to Harlow Mill where us boys used to swim. It was a very strict college with prefects. It was run on the style of the Cambridge University. I was what they called a fag ie I looked after one of the prefix. We had a tuckshop in the playground I was not a border because I lived at Thornwood Epping A place called ...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.
