More about this scene

Look south away from Stirling Corner and past Mill Hill Golf Club bordering Thistle Wood and Scratch Wood (a rural name now adopted by the local motorway service station), and take a moment to reflect on a pre-dual carriageway Great North Road. There are tree-lined verges of considerable width, and two or three cars and cyclists little knowing the madness of dual carriageway traffic engineering that is just around the corner.

St. George's School, Flower Lane, Mill Hill, London, Nw7.
I too was a pupil at St. George's, probably from 1944 to certainly no later than 1950 when I was shipped off to a boarding school in Sussex where I remained until leaving at age 17 in 1956. I was fascinated to hear I was not the only 'lefty' to incur the wrath of the infamous Mrs. Smith. I was told her husband was a badly wounded WW1 veteran and allegedly met her in a hospital - ...see more

At St. George’s School
I was at St George’s School from 1943 - 1949 and I seem to be unique in my really happy time at the school. Mr Smith was very kind and gentle - he really hated having to take a ruler to my hand once - and yes Mrs Smith was really terrifying but I don’t ever remember being taught by her ? Maybe writing - when we dipped our pens into ink pots. Mrs Phillips was lovely and ran the school percussion orchestra - ...see more

My Early School Years In Mill Hill 1943 1950
I have few memories of my primary school which was in a private house in Croft Close a turning off of Marsh Lane, but I do remember being very happy there. This was during the latter war years. However I had a very bad experience at the first private junior school I attended. This was St Georges in Flower Lane, Mill Hill Broadway in 1945 and my father was still in the army. The head ...see more

Moat Mount Youth Fc.
Not long after the completion of Worcester Crescent and Bedford Road, the construction of Ramillies Road I had acquired a large number of new friends, all boys. My parents had moved from Woodford Essex to 52 Worcester Crescent just before my first birthday and the outbreak of WW2 in 1939. The house was a new John Laings build. By the early 1950s my summers were taken up by playing Cricket for Mill Hill Village ...see more

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.
