More about this scene

This view is taken looking north- west along Benyon Road towards the junction of Pound Street and Carshalton Road. The high brick wall in the distance belongs to Carshalton House. This was the village's grandest house, a mansion designed by Giacomo Leoni in the early 18th century for Edward Carlton, who was a London tobacco merchant. Its fine landscaped grounds with a lake include the important garden buildings, the Hermitage and the Water House, now part of a school. St Philomena's Convent School was founded in 1893 by the Daughters of the Cross.

The Beeches Avenue
We lived at number 20 from the early 50's to 1969 when we moved down to Devon. It was a lovely street to live in with the magnificent beeches all along. Nice neighbours- the Radfords at number 16 and the Huttons at 22. We had a plot of land between us and number 18- Miss Vine- which was sold for building when we moved. As it was, it made a great football pitch but must have been a devil to keep up for my Dad. ...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.
