This image shows an earlier Alma Bridge as evidenced by the two rails and a precarious passing place. The wooden bridge bore the inscription 'Alma Bridge, erected by the exertions of Mr Thos. Stubbs A.D 1862'. In the background, across the weir, stands Ostcliffe's Tannery, which operated until the mid 1880's. Around the turn of the century the premises were bought by the Trees family, who built Skellfield Terrace on the site. There is no clock face on the South West Cathedral tower, as this was not installed until 1906. This helps to date the photograph.
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.
