Can you clever people do anything with this??
« on: Monday 01 September 08 20:10 BST (UK) »
Hi, this is a photo of my husbands grandmother.  I think it is taken during her time working at the Manchester Royal Infirmary.  Can anything be done with it to make it any clear.  It seems to have taken a battering over the years.

Thank you
