  1. I know they can take ages to correct. I've done a lot of old b&w photos for a friend and some of them have been badly marked , creased and ripped which obviously has to be done before working on the rest of the photo. Having sad that I find it to be rewarding when the person sees the result compared to the undoctored one.

  2. Interesting Katyjay - I wonder if your Miss Maltby at William Crane was the same as my Miss Maltby at Whitemoor a bit later? Or might they have been two (or more) elderly maiden sisters?

    I went to Whitemoor and I can remember Miss Maltby and also Miss Widdowson, Mrs Barber, Miss/Mrs Healy/Ely and also the headmistress was Miss Bloom but if I recall she then retired and then we had a headmaster. Male teachers I remember are Mr Anderson, Mr Saunders and Mr Gregson
