Bloody hell this is time consuming. Beginning to wonder whether it would be less time consuming to just take a digital photograph of the original prints. And that might give a better image, even if lower resolution, than the negatives given the dust marks and scratches that they have picked up.
This shows one end of Kelvin Flats, the large building in the centre was the original Royal Infirmary building but at the time was occupied by the Norwich Union (may still be), and there is the ski slope on Parkwood Springs in the background.
Me in silhouette, in the kitchen of a student house shared by friends.
Hyde Park Flats in the distance, in the process of being demolished, possibly by the thumbprint approaching from the right. The lighter coloured buildings just below and to the left are the parts of Hyde Park Flats that were modernised. Hyde Park was one of the earliest and largest slum clearance areas in Britain, known as 'little Chicago' in the 1930s - according to Wikipedia. The white building at bottom-right is the Meadow Hotel, now demolished.
