This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

Does anyone remember my mother who was born in 1932 so I expect went to this college 1943 on? She used to relate stories of great hardship (!) And being made to swim in the sea in winter!
I made a very nostalgic visit to Cliftonville yesterday to see my old school Godwin Girls College, 1951 I was seven years old when I first started with my sister eighteen months older, some time ago !!!! it brought back happy memories and realisation of how small I must have been as the building was much smaller than in my memory. There were pupils from many different countries who were unable to go home in the holidays ...see more
Spent a lot of my teen age life in the parakeet when Doug and Pam barker owned it. I have very fond memories of my time there. There are so many. I am Dave Kaye known as Danny then. The loss of Doug at the age of about 42 I believe, was very sad. All night bowling on Saturday nights over at Whitstable, after they closed the Parakeet, was a particular highlight.
I remember those names only too well Robin. On Saturday nights we used to wait till Pam and Doug closed. We would help them clear up then go to Whitstable bowling alley all night and get a free breakfast in the morning. Also remember your antic Robin making calls to anyone and saying you were a telephone engineer and getting the person to stand on a chair and hold the phone at arms length and sing Bye by blackbird and even more antics. Those were the days.
