More about this scene

Look up the hill at the turn of the century, and see this posed but superbly evocative photograph of an attractive mixture of domestic building styles, culminating in the spire of Blomfield's Christ Church. Here is the three-storey flat-fronted brick house of the later 18th century, small bungalow shops added to two-storey houses of various dates, and to the left the utility weather-boarding above the barber's shop.

School Days
Nelson road/ Rokesley junior school Hi all I lived at 98 Nelson Road,and went Rokesley Avenue junior school.I think I had a teacher called Mrs Melhuish. I also went later on to Crouch End junior school,park Road,around 1970,when I was around 5. I think the headmaster was a Mr Sadler. I look back fondly on those days.

Early School Days In Crouch End
I was born in 1946 and attended Rokesley Infants school from 1951 to 1953. We baby boomers were too many for the main school and in 1952 my class was in a private house just up the road from the school. We had to march down for lunch.

Shepherds Hill
So lovely to find this beautiful photograph and the memories from others. I went to Crouch End High School in Shepherds Hill in the early 1970's. I also have treasured memories of Queens Wood and Alexandra Palace. The view from the school was really something. I lived in Hornsey at that time so have many memories from the whole area. I did return some years ago and walked through Queens Wood. So much changes with time!

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.
