More about this scene

To this day, the Moor provides excellent recreational facilities. The Hemel Hempstead Cricket Club plays at Heath Park, and Boxmoor Cricket Club plays on the 'Oval' in St John's Road. Hemel Hempstead (Camelot) Rugby Club use Chaulden Meadow. Even though Boxmoor village has survived, it was destined to be surrounded by the New Town. Northridge Way, to the west of the village, was one of the new roads that led to the neighbourhoods of Chaulden and Warners End. (Dacorum Heritage Trust Ltd) Over the years Boxmoor village has hardly changed. The Roman Catholic Church, St Mary and St Joseph, was built in St John's Road in 1898. The present Victorian Gothic Church of St John the Evangelist, built in April 1874 on the moor, replaced the 1829 Chapel of Ease.

60s Hemel
My name is Derek and we moved to boxted road from London when I was 2 years old.looking at the old photos of Hemel has stirred so many very happy memories.i used to love going to see Santa in the grotto upstairs in the co- op. And in the winter sitting in the co- op cafe drinking a bottle of coke ,eating a ham sandwich and watching the ducks trying to land on the frozen water of the water gardens. Don't recognise the place now thank goodness the pics are still around.

As I walk around the parkland and streets of Gadebridge I go down memory ...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.
