Hi charnock, I notice these recent photographs are from the book on Hindley Just a question, what resolution have you scanned them? When I scan a picture from a book I can't get rid of the pixilation.

I scan mine and then use picasa to edit them, you can straighten and alter colour or not, I notice that no detrimental remarks have been made regarding copyright about these scanned photos, I was told in no uncertain terms that I needed permission to use scanned photos, not to worry, keep um coming, the more who see them the better I say.
