More about this scene

The shadow of Cheam Court in the foreground indicates that this photograph was taken shortly after noon on this summer's day. The corner site (right), with Price's confectionery and newsagent's shop beneath the flats above, has now been developed. Next to the International Stores, with its sun awning unrolled, is Sergeant's long-established cycle and perambulator shop with advertising signs promoting Raleigh and Rudge products. The spire of St Dunstan's church is clearly visible rising above the shops.

Memories Of Home North Cheam

I lived on the London Road, opposite Nonsuch Park until I was 19 years old, half way between North Cheam and Ewell Village. If you check the map this is Malden Road, not Maldon Road, and this photo is North Cheam not Cheam (Village), a short bus ride away from Cheam itself as I recall. My friend Sally Ann and her parents lived in one of those little terraced cottages just down that road on the right. ...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.
