More about this scene

This view looks east towards the junction of Lordship Lane and Bruce Grove. The open area to the left is the site of the yet to be built Peabody Housing Estate and in the right foreground is the corner of Mount Pleasant Road. Bruce Castle Park can be seen just beyond the trees. This is an interesting shot, taken at that moment when the area was being transformed from the semi-rural into a full-blown Edwardian suburb.

Jim's Cafe In Tottenham Hale
Does anybody remember Jim's Cafe in The Hale? Jim was a lovely old guy, quite short with white hair and ridden with Arthritis. Always had a fag in his mouth, never complained about anything, always working hard. The cafe was frequented by all the locals, workers and kids alike. The entertainment was a Juke Box and I would think that most of Jim's turnover came from huge quantities of tea ...see more

Seaford Rd In The 50s And 60s
I was born in 15 Seaford rd. in 1954. Tottenham then was like a village where everyone knew everyone else. I can clearly remember rag and bone men with their horse and carts, ringing their bells yelling "old rags and lumber". Every town had a 'mad frank' and we were no different. He used to walk up Seaford Road Twitching and talking to himself. Poor soul. Casualty of WW2 no doubt. I first went to ...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.
