The picture shows the south end of Bondgate decorated to celebrate the Millenary in 1886. Bondgate Hall still stands. It was here, James I is reputed to have stayed on his journey north. All the other cottages have been demolished and new buildings erected, making a much wider street.On the extreme right can be seen the bow window of the shop once owned by Eugene Aram, the murderer (his name appears in the Average Rents Award previously stored in the strong room of the Town Hall); the three people in the middle distance on the right (two women in white blouses and a man in a dark suit) are named Robinson and they ran a milk round.
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.
