More about this scene

In the parish churchyard at Cowley lies the body of William Dodd, novelist, religious author and social celebrity. This unfortunate writer attempted to secure preferment in the Church of England by bribery, and was made a social outcast when his crime was discovered. Dodd compounded his felony by trying to forge the name of the Earl of Chesterfield on a bond for £4200. Despite interventions by Dr Johnson, Dodd was hanged at Tyburn in 1777.

It was plain Georgian architecture and had a large cast iron and glass Victorian palmhouse added on. The palms had long since burst through the roof and the rest of the vegetation was overgrown and pressing against the the glass panes. ...see more

A Grand Opening
We lived briefly in Ferndale Crescent (nr 35). This was defined as Uxbridge then but the boundaries were never quite clear and have become even more blurred with the march of time. It must have been around '57 when we moved in and the same year I think was the Grand Opening of a petrol station on Cowley Rd, on the Uxbridge end of the crescent. It only had 2 petrol pumps. I remember the banners and flags across the ...see more

Wests In Cowley
I was born and brought up in Cowley. We lived at 169 Oxford Road which now belongs to Emmaus I believe.

I have photos taken in St James Hall if anyone is interested, with Fathers Whye and Beacham. I attended church at both St James and St ...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.
