More about this scene

Ealing had been a modest village in Middlesex with a population of 7000 at the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign. When Victoria died in 1901 the population had increased to 47,000, thanks to the urban sprawl of nearby London and the many people who chose to settle in this attractive town upwind of the metropolis. The advertising hoardings on the horse-drawn buses advertise both Nestle's milk and Lipton's teas.

Ealing1949 To 1963
We moved to Ealing when I was 5 and at 11 I went to NHEHS and we bought the school uniform at Abernethies on the corner of Uxbridge Rd. I loved that area. Next to the taxi rank there was a Polish deli...oh the baked sultana cheesecake. In Uxbridge Rd towards Sanders there was Fullers cake shop, walnut cake there!

Falling In The Water
In the 1950's I used to go here with my brothers. We tried sailing paper boats. The swans were quite aggressive if you got too close to their cygnets. One time I got too adventurous and stepped down the slope, slid on the algae and ended up drenched. I had to walk back to South Ealing Road squelching and feeling very sorry for myself. I visited again in 2011 and was interested to see it much the same. The ...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.
