The corner building, Lavins Corn Store, was replaced in 1902 by the Masonic Hall (HQ of the De Grey and Ripon Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, No 837). Lavin's Corn Store later became a cafe and Cyril Hawley, variously Hornblower and Sergeant-at-Mace, told how he and other boys used to go to Lavin's cafe, which stood where the Crown Hotel (site occupied by flats in 2017) was in Water Skellgate, and peered through the windows to watch the rats running over the meat pies, wondering who would be eating them the following day.
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.
All orders will be dispatched within 3 working days.
