More about this scene

A contrast to the stadium complex, and the numerous large office blocks that have materialised over the past twenty years, particularly along Empire Way, the road swings to rise up to the Wembley Park Underground Station of 1923. The attractive domestic-scale shops look even better when compared to the intrusive, faceless Columbus Dixon office block.

Chinese Restaurant Near The Wimpy Bar
There was a very good dine-in Chinese restaurant late 1960s/early1970s in Wembley Park Drive, almost next to the Wimpy Bar. Can anybody remember its name ?

My First Job
I started work on a Saturday while I was still at school in the Co-op next to the Wimpy and I was working there when the football world cup was played.

Wimpy Bar
We used to go to the Wimpy to have their fry up. You got a frankfurter wrapped round an egg!

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.
