More about this scene

This road formed the old parish boundary between Sutton and Cheam. At its southern extremity and the junction with Cheam Road was the site of East Cheam Manor and a dozen or so houses. This view, looking north, shows the small roadside pond in the middle distance which existed on the east side of the road, midway between the S-bend and what is now West Sutton railway station. On the left are the grounds of the Lower Cheam House estate.

I was one of the naughty boys, but turned out all right in the end and had a great working life. Now retired I have an action packed time with masses of fun.

Throwley Way Baths
If this is Throwley Way parallel to Sutton Hugh Street, then the now defunct Sutton High School for Boys used these erstwhile Baths for swimming lessons and competitions, right up to the school's controversial closure in 1962.

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.
