Rix - Butlers Garage, Bridge Street, Helmsley, North Yorkshire 1986 2

These are old press negatives I have scanned by photographing them in macro and then reversing the image in paintshop - they were too big to fit into my slide and negative scanner, 50mm square is quite a big negative! This picture marks the final day of business for this lovely roadside garage before it closed, possibly because of new regulations over roadside pumps. It features the two owners of the business posing outside the garage. There are some lovely colour images of it on the internet to see here www.helmsleyarchive.org.uk/displayimage.php?album=5&p... and here www.helmsleyarchive.org.uk/displayimage.php?pid=3755 and there is a very old black and white photo www.helmsleyarchive.org.uk/displayimage.php?pid=238 Here's the same location today www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.246068,-1.0608529,3a,75y,90h,90...
