More about this scene

Between the underground station and the parish church, this is a wonderful neo-Tudor pub of 1936 by A E Sewell; he also designed the Crown and Anchor in High Street, Chipping Barnet, and the Goat near Forty Hill, Enfield, in the same style for the brewers Truman, Hanbury and Buxton. Detail, both internally and externally, is paramount, from the clustered brick chimney stacks to the beautifully-carved brackets supporting the jettying. It is a great pity that the off-sales wing, seen here to the right of the main building, has for some time been in a shabby rundown condition.

Early Edgware
I remember the boys club on Chandos crescent we used to go there 2 or 3 nights a week. All harmless innocent fun growing up around Edgware in early 1970's I lived on Buckingham Road and went to school in St Thomas at Canons Park. Thats now gone just memories left. Good ones does anybody remember me. Derek Doyle. It would be great to hear from anyone who grew up and lived around Edgware in the late 1960's early 70's Thanks

Seeking David Barber
I lived in Edgware from birth in 1959 until 1983 so saw a lot of changes, it was a great place to grow up and I will try to share more detailed memories soon. My primary school was Aylward (technically in Stanmore) and I have been trying to trace contact details for David Barber, who would have been at Aylward roughly from 1964 to 1970. He did me a kindness once that will have seemed small to him at the time but ...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.
