More about this scene

The least attractive part of the town centre is the forecourt to the underground station, which is also used as a bus station. Rather than admire this tarmac desert, it is better to turn through 180º to see, and if possible visit, the Golders Green Hippodrome, designed by Bertie Crew in 1913. This fine theatre has been used by the BBC as a recording studio since the late 1960s; it is one of comparatively few remaining suburban music halls in Greater London outside the West End.

Golders Green 70s/80s
I was born in Temple Fortune in 1972 and moved to Golders Green in 1973. I remember shopping in Woolworths which was next door to the library, it was a huge branch and sold plants and seeds at the back. There was a pet shop at the end of the alley way near Woolworths where my sister and I used to buy pet tortoises! Then there was MacFisheries a bit further along. I loved the smell coming from the ...see more

White Swan
I think that when your photographer set up his camera to take this scene he was not intending to take 'Ye Olde Grove Farme' shop, but the site of the public house 'The White Swan', (behind the tree) which, as far as I know is still there; or was when I was in the area a few years ago. On the far left of the picture you can see the pub sign. .

The Prince Albert Was So Cosy, Lively And Friendly
A really great Golders Green former establishment is (or was) the Prince Albert pub (later a Harvester Restaurant) which was situated at 290 Golders Green Road, London, NW11 9PY. It was a great jazz pub where people would meet and make friends. Now that has long gone, even though very buzzing and thriving in the Harvester guise. I was last there in 1993 to eat and drink where ...see more

"The Prince Albert"
I have one of the earliest known photographs of the building that occupied the site in the 1800's. The house was started as a 'Beer House' by a Frederick Smith circa 1851. It underwent a rebuild by Richard King c1898, and included a 'Tea House' along side. The King family were also Timber Merchants in Brent Street, Hendon, and Highfield Road, Golders Green. At the start of the 20th Century Frederick King ...see more

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.
