More about this scene

This pub on the road to Havering-atte-Bower has retained much of its shape, although it is now brightly painted. Although having an orange tree would have been a great attraction, and the use of such curiosities to attract people to inns were common from the 17th to the beginning of the 20th century, it is not likely that this was the origins of this house. The name the Orange Tree was a political statement of loyalty to William of Orange during the revolution of 1688.

The Bricked Up Tree On The Green.
I was born at "Elmwood" in the village in 1941 and remember the tree on the corner, the 175 bus used to give it a wide berth to get round the corner. It was a huge tree with bricks inside to hold it together. Looking at pictures of the village today, it has changed a lot, my grandparents, the dePonts, lived in the cottages called Elizabeth row. I now reside in Queensland and am 74 and retired. John Kilby

Born In Lower Bedfords Road
I was born in Lower Bedfords Road and as a young child I can remember cattle coming down the road to go in one of the fields in Bedfords Park. My mum used to shoo them out of the garden with a tea towel. I played over there all the time as a child. My children also loved seeing the deer over there, as do my grandchildren now. Sadly my father passed away 3 years ago so I can no longer go to my family home in Lower Bedfords Road. But it was a lovely area to grow up in.

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.
