More about this scene

The placename is derived from Haecc or gate. The village is on the north-west edge of Pinner Park, itself a 14th-century deer park owned by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Although not designated an Ancient Monument, it is with its extensive boundary banks the best example of its type in Middlesex. Hatch End has expanded since the arrival of the railway in the mid 1840s, but The Broadway is of little architectural interest. However, of considerable interest is St Anselms Church, Westfield Park, with its superb Arts and Crafts glass by Louis Davis.

The only original shop still going is Halls Chemist but there is still a sweet shop a few doors up and the sweet shop cum post office further down. I attended Grimsdyke Primary School up to 1959 and ...see more

Hatch End Memories!!
I just stumbled across this site, and I had to post some of my memories here!  I remember so much of Hatch End, (I'm going to run out of characters in this box - may have to add anther one).  I remember Budgens and also Akropolis and I'm sure there was a hairdressers up that end too.  There was also a tailors along there.  I definitely remember the butchers as there was a young man in there I took a shine to, and ...see more

Fabulous Hatch End
I also remember this scene of Hatch End.  I lived in the Pub which just about appears in this picture on the top far right, its the white buillding that is just sticking out slightly.  Next door to the pub was the Conoco garage where someone called Tony Waite worked.  I used to watch him from the side window of the pub.  Just past the pub there was a baby/knitting shop and then came the newsagents called Dells ...see more

W H Smith In Hatch End!
This view shows a branch of Smiths on the corner of Uxbridge Road and Grimsdyke Road on the left of the picture. It was a haven for schoolchildren buying ink for fountain pens and stamp album leaves! I loved to buy bottles of exotic coloured ink for writing my homework. I also bought the Watford Observer to read the football reports on the games at Vicarage Road. On the opposite side of the main road was ...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.
