More about this scene

Further north-east along the High Street, Frith's photographer now looks back in the Clapham Common direction past Cato Road (left). To the far left is a curious building with a huge semi-circular pediment. Now occupied by Moxley Architects, it was built as the Temperance and Billiard Hall in about 1900. At this end of the High Street many houses survive; those on the right have single-storey shops in front.

Battersea Henley Street.
I was born in 1936 in Henley Street, got bombed out and moved to to my Nan's just round the corner in Blondel Street. At the end of the war our old house in Henley Street was restored and we moved back in. I have many memories of the war, going to Latchmere School, the air-raid shelters, the bombs and of course the 'doodle bugs'. I progressed to Surrey Lane School where a lovely lady teacher, Mrs ...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.
