Hi 'Hepburn'
Thanks for this.  The photo is just what I am looking for.  Are you able to give me any more info about its source as I would really like to be able to make it large enough to read the text.  Any further help will be much appreciated.

Do you have a web album? You could save it in the album and then use the zoom...  :)

Thanks for reply.  I've tried that but any attempt to zoom or enlarge just blurrs the text.  Was this a photo offered for sale on Ebay or elsewhere.  If so please let me have the details as I will be happy to purchase. I think it needs to be a higher resolution image to enable any enlargement.

Thanks 'Hepburn' - you have been very helpful.  The ebay advert enlarges sufficiently for me to read the text but I am also contacting the seller with a view to purchase.

Regards

Hi 'Hepburn'
Just to let you know that I have now managed to obtain a large clear image of the 'Woodcroft' house in Leek.  It really looks to have been a very imposing property and I am still mystified as to why it was demolished after only about 50 years (1880 - 1930).
Thanks again for your help.
