I can't remember whether I've posted this before. Brighton sea front during the Daily Express RAC Rally. I think it was 1951.

That garage looks superb, what a piece of nostalgia not like our modern faceless service stations. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

That photo was taken in 1965 by the architects responsible for this 1966 facelift:
And just out of interest, the same garage in 1937:

Some very interesting photos there Mike.E. The first shows two Edwardians; the one in the distance is obviously a Rover but the car in the foreground is a real rarity; a 1907 15 HP Niclausse Landau. The radiator emblem is a cockerel on a steering wheel.

Thanks for that, it certainly would make some sense as the negative is from either one of my parents, who are from the Colwyn Bay area. I have another photo of it, unfortunately they're on something like 120 film and my scanner only does 35mm, I got away with the other as it wasn't a frame-filler.
Re the images from the road run, I won't post the whole lot here, but this is (or should be) a link to the album: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmdNDc1L |

Mike, with an ordinary negative, try scanning it on a normal flatbed scanner and then inverting the image in your editing suite.
ie on Photoshop Elements it is Filter>Adjustments>Invert (ctrl+I) _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

I will give that a go - in that past I've had access to a scanner which has a backlight instead of the normal lid, which worked very well. Not got it any more though, and only have a very small number of large-format things to scan. |
