restoring photos for a book about my uncle John Sims Bournville
« on: Friday 04 November 22 11:19 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I'm putting together a book about my Uncle John Sims's lfe in Birmingham. I have found some old photos with him in but they have been folded, or have marks on. Would anybody mind trying to improve them for me. Many thanks.

The third photo. If you want additional changes or color just say so.
I'm sure you'll get several very good photos from others.

Away visiting grandkids at present so the second one was an ideal little one to spend a few stolen moments fixing up.
