More about this scene

Mitcham is a town with two greens. This view is of Lower Green, and on the right, out of view, is Cricket Green. In the middle of the green is the Vestry Hall, built in 1887, which has a cupola and clock tower. Around Cricket Green and along Church Road are some good late 18th- and early 19th-century houses. To the south-east is Mitcham Common, which offers more open space and increased rural character.

I was also a ...see more

Mitcham Town Hall
It was at the Mitcham Town Hall that we would pay our rent if, for any reason, the rent man did not call. We lived in a council property on Meopham Road, Mitcham, a fairly modern development, and I can remember going there with my parents to collect wallpaper etc because at that time the council paid for interior redecorations. Perhaps (I am almost certain) that the building this side of the Town Hall is the ...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.
