In the right foreground of the photograph is the former City Museum. It operated there from 1883 to 1903 when the property was demolished to be replaced with the Spa Baths. Further back is what would become the Drill Hall on the corner of Somerset Row to accommodate the increasing number of Territorial Soldiers in Ripon; previously, the Georgian Theatre on Park Street had served in this capacity. It functioned as the pre-war headquarters of No 3 Troop, C Squad Yorkshire Hussars Yeomanry and H Company, 5th Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment. An auxiliary hospital was based at the Drill Hall during the First World War. All the railings have since gone, many removed for scrap in the Second World War.
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.
