This image was taken from an upstairs window of No 6 Skell Bank, one of a pair of semi-detached Victorian houses. The large building with the hipped roof (top right) is a pair of semi-detached houses overlooking Borrage Bridge. The brick-built industrial chimney is at Williamsons Paintworks and the pantile roof below this chimney indicates a row of cottages. The building with the pale roof in the centre of the image is situated in Corporation Yard and has been the main means of dating the image.This information has been deduced from careful study of the 1890 Ordnance Survey plan 1:500 and the plans between 1909-1929 of the 1:2500.
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.
