Photo touch up request grandfather Wilfred Sharp
« on: Tuesday 10 November 20 11:06 GMT (UK) »
Hello lovely people ! Would anyone be able to touch up this photograph of my grandfather Wilfred Sharp of Blackpool b 1912 - d 1943 ? I never actually met him as I was born in 1974. He passed when my Father was only 3. Apparently he was working on gas pipes and they were leaking unbeknownst to him as the gas was not scented with mercaptan back then to allow for detection. The gas burnt his lungs and he never recovered.

First pass - just so that you knew someone had picked it up.

I'll work on it some more over the next few days.

Rather than add anything to it, I prefer to only use what's there to reconstruct as necessary

Thanks, Tomkin. :D (I did have to redact a few things in that paper - they were very un-PC those days.) ;D
