More about this scene

A train on the Smitham railway bridge adds interest to this photograph of the northern end of Brighton Road shopping area. Older readers will remember the United Dairies shop on the corner of Malcolm Road, since replaced by Waitrose. The tall building on the right is Lloyds Bank. This part of Brighton Road is due to benefit from the construction of the Coulsdon by- pass, commenced in 2004. It is many years since advertising was displayed on the railway bridge.

T Walton Greengrocers
I used to work in the greengrocers situated on Brighton Road near the junction of Malcolm Road. I used to do deliveries on the carrier bike around Coulsdon and work in the shop. But after 15 months I had to leave as I was transfered to Streatham and being only 15 and living in Caterham and using buses, it was too far to travel.

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.
