Thanks.

I took this back to its original black and white to work on it.
The photo posted here has been coloured by an Algorithmia programme which automatically colours photos, but is very limited in what it can do. The colours are not even as can be seen in the houses seen to the left of this couple and the colours also bleed into each other, which makes it very hard to restore.
Here are my two versions

Bownass - Lancashire & Westmorland
Hoggarth - Lancashire & Westmorland
Jackson- Lancaster
Waller - Dent, Yorkshire dales
Omerod - Lancashire
Redburn - Lancashire
Evans - Hereford

RESTORERS please do not use my restores without my permission THANK YOU
