Two postmen having a conversation outside the Post Office in Thoralby in. On the left near Beauty the Cat is Tommy Coates. On the right is William Cockbur, also known as Post Willy. William would bring the post from Aysgarth and delivered to Thoralby and Bishopdale. Tommy would deliver to the outlying farms. This image dates back to 1946 or 1947.
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.
