Middle Street was a complete row of shops in the centre of Queen Street. It was originally called the Flesh Shambles as this was where all the butchers shops were located. The block was demolished between 1898 and 1905, and the final shop left standing was Rayners Drapers, as the Council struggled to agree a price for the purchase of the property. Finally a settlement of £4,827 was agreed in 1905, and demolition of Middle Street was completed, with Rayners moving to new premises on Queen Street.
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 250gsm satin and gloss paper.
