A four-storey rendered mill building with attached two-storey house. The foreground male figure in white clothing and cap suggests he is a miller. Three women and a child stand in front of the house. The mill formed part of the medieval Bishopton Mills complex (corn, flax and timber) lying south of Bishopton Bridge. A mill race from High Dam on the River Laver supplied water to power the machinery which then discharged into the River Skell. A disastrous fire in the Flax Mill in June 1915 destroyed much of the site. The corn mill survived but was said to have fallen into disuse in the 1920s as a result of technological change.
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.
