This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

Lived at 387 Elm Park Avenue. Benhurst Primary, then Suttons. I too studied under Miss/Mrs Syrett, Mr Walsh (great guy) / Mr Crew/ and the formidable Mr Pike for the last two years!

Hornchurch, Upminster Road C.1950
Opposite where the bus is located is a row of shops at the end of Glanville Drive. For the first part of my life from 1947 I lived at the far end of Glanville Drive. The large house in the background with the light-coloured flank wall is 'Dury Falls' a Grade II Listed Building. That is at the junction of Upminster Road and Wingletye Lane.

Hornchurch, High Street Towards Upminster C.1950
The Kings Head on the left of the photograph was one of the pubs I would regularly drink in when I was in my twenties. I remember it being 'tarted up' at one time with fake beams made of chicken wire covered in textured plaster painted dark brown. It was truly awful! On the opposite side of the road from the pub in those days was a row of modern shops but as a child I remember there being a vacant site where a brewery had once stood and which was once used by a circus.

Hornchurch Baptist Church, North Street
The church on the left hand side of the photograph was Hornchurch Baptist Church. I was, in the second half of the 1950s and the early 1960s, a member of the 6th Hornchurch Scout Group based at the church. A little further up North Street on the right was Westland Avenue where North Street Primary School was located. I attended the school from 1952 to 1958.

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.
