More about this scene

The elderly men discussing their roses over the garden fence at Heatherstone would find it difficult to recognise this view today. The house on the left has been replaced, while the one straight ahead is now tiled and hidden by trees. A small length of the iron fencing remains outside Heatherstone, and the gate piers opposite at Tufnells are still there. A footpath behind the men now leads to a housing estate.

My Very Best Friend Janet King Who Became Janet Fenn
My best friend was Janet King. She was such fun and had a great personality. We cycled everywhere in those days and I have very fond memories of Flatford and swimming at the bridge. I lived in Mistley but loved staying at Burnt Oak. I wonder if Janet is still alive. I worked for a few years at BX plastics in the office. Would appreciate a reply from anyone who knew Janet. I remember her uncle too..and her father returning from war best wishes Thelma nee Edwards

Boyhood Memories
My aunt Jessie (King) lived in the house on the left of the picture from around 1920 to 1954. In 1954 she moved out and my uncle Sidney (Edwards) ( her brother) moved into the house and turned it into a little tea room come snack bar. It was very popular with the kids at that time who could spend a few pence on a bottle of pop and a packet of crisps. The house next to the tea room was a bakers, owned by Mr Stow.

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.
