More about this scene

One stop down the line from Enfield town, Bush Hill Park station was opened in 1880 to service this development by the Northern Estates Company. The grand pub and the simple working men's houses and shops in St Marks Road and First Avenue are all of a similar date. Beyond the featureless station wall, the more up-market buildings of Queen Annes Place and Dryden Road can be seen. Close by, in Private Road, is a house of some architectural significance designed in the Arts and Crafts manner by Arthur Macmurdo for his brother.

1996/97/98 Explored The Ruins
I went to Kingsmead Secondary School 1996-2001. It was exhilarating exploring the locked up ruins of the old outdoor pool next to our school. I loved imagining the fun and memories of past customers and wished we'd been able to experience it in its glory days. It was disintegrating and dangerous and we were young and stupid. The reconstruction of my imagined accident airing on the old programme 999 kept me out in later years, before it was torn down and replaced by restaurant car park.

Crown And Horseshoes Pub. Gentlemans Row

I'm actually asking if anyone has any Memories , or knows of any stories about the Crown and Horseshoes in the 1930s . I'm writing the 'story' of our Family History and would love to hear anything at all about The Crown and Horseshoes during this time . If anyone knows anything about the old lady thought to Haunt the Pub , that would be wonderful too ! Thank you, Sally

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.
