Mystery Hotel 1912 ????????

[J.J.]

Hi Lisa...would it be possible to just select to scan individual areas on the
postcard... using more d.p.i and then choose 3/400% for the output? Plus
there's no recovery settings, or sharpen or focus more? Just checking, as
every little bit of detail helps... J.J.

( p.s. likely is a wedding as she is holding what may be a bouquet or nosegay,
and he has a bouteneir)

O.k. back on the case...  under (104)

Have we checked out The Manchester Railway Hotel ? It doesn't sound
 like a name I'd recognised but then?...      J.J.

( oh, say, when we're done here, there's dozens of bulidings needing to
be recognized on this photo site...)

Hi, It could be Manchester Railway hotel, I really can't say. I'll get my son to help me with a better scan later and we'll chop it up and enlarge it if we can.
I can zoom in on my pc and above the older Gent there is a sign in the window, it could says 'Wards' obviously the ale. On the street address I would say the second word looks like 'Place'.
It won't help but there seems to be a man in a top hat looking out of the window directly above the door!

Great to see you've joined in the discussion, Lisa - sorry if I seemed a bit miffed at your absence in earlier postings, but as you can see, an awful lot of hours have been spent dissecting this picture!

(It's taken me weeks to get it out of my head!)

Let's hope one last push and the additional information you've provided ont he Buxton's helps.

Cheers

Paul

Sorry about this folks!
I've been trying to find out where it is for months not even knowing it was on here!

Haha, know what you mean...it's rather all-consuming... ( or brain consuméeing )
 


Lisa...Can you read the hanging sign? I'm afraid all is still too pixelated
for my bad eyes... The trouible with jpgs is that it distorts any and 
all detail around objects.....
 If it isn't too much trouble, could you ask him to make sure there is
no extra compression added to the larger cropped scans? Jpgs already
add a compression, as I say...(If it can be done...)

nevermind, I remember now...doesn't look like a railway, hotel to me, tho, now does it/

Oh, do we need to reread the whole thing to recap 
I think I'm going to be ill...

Hi Lisa,

Welcome.

I still think its a fleur de lys or Prince of Wales feathers in the stone work on the part of the building that juts out.

Is the lady definitely holding a bouquet? Could it not be a little dog like Lisa showed in the other, close up pic?
