Thanks Handypandy.  .Very much appreciated. Colour is good.

Yes it is a prefab. Humble little house but very cosy in winter and they even had a fridge in them. I remember the nisson huts too. Good old days.

Hi Xin,
We have all moved up in the world since those days.Your idea of looking for the negative got me thinking. I have the original photo. I sent the scan my cousin sent me.
Attached new scan from my photo which may be in better condition.

Had a little play with the bigger image - not much of an improvement really!   :-\

  Sorry - a while since I have done any of this.  ::) :)

Thank you Wiggy.  Very much appreciated .  That is much better. I should have scanned my own photo from the start.

 ;)  Not a bad photo for a 10 year old with a little b&w camera!
