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.

Hi I have just been given a batch of school reports belonging to my mother Patricia Barbary. Two reports are from Hearnville Road school 1949 & 1952. The rest is when she attended The Rosa Bassett School, Streatham. 1952-1956. Her mother was Ethel, she also has a brother called Robert and I believe they all lived with Grandma Elizebeth(Liz) in Denby Rd (now a school Hornsby House school) If anyone has any memories of this family it would be great to hear from you. Many thanks Wayne
I was told that two brothers lived, one who owned a fish paste factory and the other who owned a honey factory. They joined forces and Honeylade Factory came into being. My aunt was a Supervisor and she got my mum a job there in 1932. My mother met my Dad through his sisters who also worked there. I cannot find any trace of this factory. Can anyone help?
Does anyone have any memories of Family Brown who lived in Elmfield Road until 1954? The parents were Percy & Winifred (nee Gover) who had 3 daughters: Winifred, Doris & Joyce and 1 son: Reginald.
Hello, I'm looking for anyone who might remember Olive Alice Daniels – she was a widow who lived with her brother, Thomas Oram Durst, at 118 Balham Park Road. They both died in 1964, him in April, her in October. She was 77. I'm trying to trace her life after her husband, Henry 'Harry' George Daniels, was killed in 1917. Currently, their postcards are on display at London's Postal Museum but little is known about the couple beyond official records.
