More about this scene

This convalescent home for children suffering from hip disease was built in 1902-03 and dedicated in the name of Queen Alexandra, and is seen here with some of its young patients a year after its official opening by the Bishop of London in July 1903. In fine weather this front veranda saw beds being wheeled out from the ground-floor wards inside, so that the children could benefit from the fresh air. They were also able to wave to passers-by.

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.
