Title: Great Grandparents - Improve and Colour if Possible
Post by: LancsCity70 on Monday 14 October 13 14:17 BST (UK)

This photo shows my great grandparents Neil Patterson (1882-1959) and Annie Hearn (1883-1959). Would anyone out there be able to have a go at improving the image (particularly removing creases) ? - If anybody wants to have an attempt at colouring that would also be hugely appreciated. As a side issue, any guesses as to where this photo may have been taken. I've been told it was at Blackpool, but I'm slightly confused as although I understand there was an Alhambra at Blackpool, that was there around the start of the 20th century, and the photo is clearly later than that. Any guidance, much appreciated,
Thanks
Tony
