The junction of the Market Square with Westgate and High Skellgate, when what is now known as the Wakeman House was Precious's Grocers shop. Note the sign saying PUBLIC TELEPHONE. The property next door was Thirlway & Co, Printers and Stationers,which was demolished in 1946 to widen the road. On the other side of the road is the Midland Bank, before it was re-built with the more ornate stone frontage that it still there today.
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.
