More about this scene

This nine-storey block was a typical example of housing designed for single people. The first one was built on the corner of Mark Hall Moors in open parkland in the midst of seven magnificent oaks. It was designed in the shape of a butterfly, so that the sitting rooms look south over the landscape. It received a Festival of Britain award.

An extract from Harlow Town and City Memories.

Childhood
I was born in Felmongers then moved to Mark Hall Moors when I was very young. My parents were one of the first to move to Harlow from London and my Dad had to have a job to qualify for a council house. He worked in Templefields and my brother and I went to school at Tany's Dell. I remember this block as we used to go up to the top to look at the view!!

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.
