This image shows two two-storey dilapidated cottages on Bedern Bank which were later to be demolished. The photographer, Mr T Gilyard Beer, was a grocer and resided at Nos 16-17 Bedern Bank; by 1915 he had moved to Nos 5-6. A relative, Roy Beer, fought an ongoing battle to prevent demolition; this ultimately happened in 1959. Miss Elizabeth Taylor (later Mrs Fowler) is shown sweeping in the left hand doorway. The cottages were unusual in that the steps led down into the ground floor rooms. The draper's shop at No 6 was owned by Mrs Sarah A Parkin, who also traded as a miliner.
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.
