Indentification of SCHOOL PHOTO.
« on: Thursday 19 April 07 02:37 BST (UK) »
Can anyone identify this school photograph please?
It would have been taken around Rochdale. Probably about 1875+-
One of the girls is quite likely a GREAVES.
Many thanks,
Mavis

Mavis,
The wizards under the photo restoration area of the site may be able to improve the clarity for you and read what is written on the blackboard.
They do tend to work miracles. They may need you to rescan the image at 600 dpi.

just select about 600 dpi (dots per inch) that should help

You are all very kind!  As this photo was sent by email, I cannot rescan it!
Is there anything else I can do?

There is nothing more you can do perhaps one of the other restorers can help and you did clearly say it was by way of email, I'm getting daft in my old age
