More about this scene

The buildings here reflect the early 20th-century origins of Palmers Green; the triangle is all that remains of the original green. The A1004 swings right into Alderman's Hill past the railway station, and the outstanding building facing the camera is of 1904. On the right the anthemion-dominated free Classical building, by Evans and Davies, and the roughcast upper stories to Hamells, provide a very acceptable streetscape.

Palmers Green
I came across the stories related to Palmers Green and was immediately taken back to my early years at Franklin House school in the 50's and 60's. I smiled when I read about the visits to Dom's Cafe, just a five minute walk from the school. My entire lunch money would be spent on a Cola float, Coke and ice cream with a cherry and a fruit pie for dessert! How everyone stayed so skinny in those days I have no idea! ...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.
