More about this scene

The Victoria Club for Working Men in the west corner of Kingsbury is another benefaction from the Rothschilds, in this case Baron Ferdinand of Waddesdon. A stone plaque over the entrance records this as a commemoration of Queen Victoria's Jubilee, 21 June 1887. The building is still here, now the Victoria Club, with its sashes replaced by UPVC and the parapets rebuilt in simpler style.

Aylesbury Gymnastic Club
I will never forget the day when I and my friends met Ralph Mayo who came to our school Abbey Road to see if any of us wanted to join his gymnastics club, we were nine at the time and I think my best friend then was Carole Neale.

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.
