The demolished village of West End can longer be seen in the Washburn Valley. After the collapse of the textile industry in the area people moved away from Thruscross and West End in search of new employment. Many of the homes were left empty and the hamlet was almost a ghost town. The village is now under the water of Thruscross Reservoir.
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.
