The Town Hall was receiving a face-lift and the National Provincial Bank (originally Claro Bank) was operating at the time from temporary premises on North Street while awaiting demolition and rebuilding. Walker's removal van is here collecting materials for the transfer. Kennedy's sweet shop was in the building between the Bank and the Town Hall. The Lawrence ballroom to the right of the Town Hall has had many uses since and is now the Halifax Bank (2017). This photograph was taken shortly before the Claro Bank and Kennedy's were demolished and the National Westminster Bank built.
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.
