A winter scene showing G. Precious, basket makers. The building is now better known as the Wakeman's House. It is reported to be one of the first properties in Ripon to have a telephone line - a service proudly advertised on the front of the building. It was later sold to Ripon Corporation for £1,250 and the Wakeman's House was then used as a Museum until the 1960s, when it became a tea shop. George Precious used to grow the osiers for making his baskets in the Willowgarths at Nunwick. Thirlway's next door was a stationers shop, demolished in 1946 as part of the road widening scheme. The Leeds Mercury advertised here says "Buller Advances Retreat of the Enemy" which helps to fix the date more accurately. When this and the Thorpe Prebend House closed as museums, curators came from various museums in the area to acquire the objects 'on loan'. It is understood that some of the pottery went into the foundations of Moorside Avenue.
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.
