Specialist note

Frost comments 'I went to Camberwell in 1947 after two years in St Ives, when I'd met Lanyon and Nicholson. Adrian Heath knew what was going on there, and I used to go and see Pasmore on a Saturday morning because he was always there then. He was my god because Adrian had introduced me to his work'. (D. Lewis, Terry Frost, Aldershot, 2000, p. 40)

While he was at Camberwell Frost lodged in a house in Albert Bridge Road, Battersea.
