Restoration of Old Picture; Manchester UK 1950's
« on: Tuesday 03 October 23 17:26 BST (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters

Hot on the heels of a fantastic colourisation of another old picture, I wondered if any Rootschatters might be able to do anything to remove the cracks across this precious old snap of my parents, sisters, and other family members, taken late 1950's in Hullard Park, Old Trafford, Manchester, England.

At the time this picture was taken, they'd only recently arrived in Manchester, having emigrated as a larger family group from their home in Dublin, Ireland.

All the adults in the picture have sadly since passed away and this is a very treasured picture which I'd love to frame.

Thanking in anticipation.
