More about this scene

This chapter finishes across the next valley and up on the chalk ridge at Warlingham, 600 feet above sea level. At the centre of this village, which is attached by suburbia to Purley and Croydon, is a triangular green with a war memorial. The Green is out of view to the right; the buildings we see here are on its north side - the houses are dated 1898. Beyond the contemporary Warlingham Church Hall are 1920s shops and a bank, which is dated 1927.

Warlingham Park Hospital Harrow Road And The Bull At Chelsham
I was delighted to find these lovely photos of the Warlingham area, but surprised that, so far, there is no reference to the Warlingham Park hospital, the staff and patients of which were a source of financial income to the area for over 100 years. Many of the staff lived in the houses on Harrow Road which may even have been owned by the hospital, as often these ...see more

Catapults Mid Fifties
This brings back when us local lads would venture into the bike shop where he also sold modelling bits and pieces. By far the best elastic for our catapaults (sprogs) was 1/4inch elastic, we had to convince the bloke that it was for model aircraft so that he would sell us a couple of feet. I just remembered also, that he used to sell a 'Penny Farthing Bike' made of fairly heavy duty stiff wire and a heavy ...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.
