An image taken from a postcard published by Walter Scott, Bradford. The old weir, built by 1800, on the River Skell stretched right across the river, diverting some of the flow into the Mill Race which ran down Low Mill Road. The site of Skellfield Terrace was acquired by the Trees family, builders, following the death of James Ostcliffe and the closure of Ostcliffe's Tannery in the late 1880's. Building began for Skellfield Terrace in the early 1900's. The weir eventually broke, resulting in all the water re-directed into the Skell, and the water channel running down Low Mill road drying up and falling into disuse.
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.
