More about this scene

This building in Earl's Court's Old Brompton Road was partly designed by Sir Aston Webb, and opened in 1930. Its position on the north-west corner of Finborough Road was handy for both Earl's Court Station and West Brompton Station. One of the posters outside is an appeal for lead foil silver paper.

I Worked Here In 1961
I was only fourteen, and wanted to be a nurse. I went to see Matron *trembles* and asked if I could do some voluntary work, which she allowed me to do for a couple of hours after school once or twice a week. I was to do drinks and flowers etc. Little did Matron know how I got sucked in because they were always short staffed.

Where I Came Into This World
I was born in the Princess Beatrice Hospital on 22nd Jan 1950. It is very strange seeing my birth place for the very first time (today - 10th Aug 2012). I don't know what happened to me immediately after my birth but 6 months later I was adopted.

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
