There was a weighbridge at the top of North Street until the early 1960's. One of the two traction engines is tilted at an angle, and it is likely that it has broken through the weighbridge. Although this photograph looks much earlier, part of the signage for Boots the Chemist can be seen on the roof of what at the time would have been Hebdens Ironmongers. Hebdens was sold to Boots in the late 1950's, and by 1960 had closed.
We use a high resolution 50 mega pixel Canon camera, mounted on a Guardian stand, which allows us to capture A0 plans comfortably without losing any clarity or definition. Plans larger than A0 are digitally stitched using Adobe Photoshop by experienced reprographic staff. Images are captured at a minimum resolution of 300dpi as TIFFS using Phase One capture software.
Paper copies at A4 and A3 size are printed on 120gsm high quality matt paper using good quality printing ink.
Paper copies larger than A3 (A2 up to A0) are printed on 170gsm high quality matt coated paper, using UV inks which do not fade or lose colour over time.
Photographs are printed on 300gsm satin and gloss paper.
