More about this scene

Potter Street Junior School and the infant school were on the same campus, and were typical of the many schools that had to be provided quickly for the very large percentage of school-age children in Harlow New Town. Later, as the numbers of children decreased, the two schools were amalgamated into a primary school. The local comprehensive school is within easy walking distance along one of the old lanes preserved by the planners.

Fullers Mead Childhood
We moved to Fullers Mead in 1953/4 just after I was born, to the house on the right hand side with the lamp post outside (just down from the bus stop) my brother was born in the house in 1955. Dad still lives there, bless him. It was a great place to grow up. Lots of friends to play with and fishing at Mill Pond right down the end of the road and the newest and best sports facilities you could want. I left in 1976 to live in Devon.

Perry Spring
I lived at 106 Perry Spring until 1968. This photo was taken at the bottom of that street, where the steps are. Like Graham Nash I remember Potter Street as a great place to grow up in the 1960's. Shame Brays Grove school has now gone. To add insult to injury they call the new building Stewards. What did Brays Grove do to deserve that. I remember the play schemes on the common at Potters Street. Many of my friends ...see more

Potter Street
Having just moved to Harlow new town my only memories of Potter Street then was the transport cafe because that was the original A11 trunk road coming from London. What a lovely caff that was, I ended up being a regular there till it had to close down, shame!

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.
