Your Welcome!
The exterior shots were recorded on Lister Avenue in Balby, a suburb of Doncaster; the shop itself was a hairdresser's salon, which closed for a Summer break each year in order to allow filming by the BBC. It remains a hairdresser's salon. The same location was used for the sequel series Still Open All Hours.
After I finished the last two retouched images I realized that if I were going to let folks download the card, I should probably open it up for scans and start over after the lessons learned in the first attempts. Here it is.
I have to switch from my load of unedited recent stash of out and about pix. I got a load of scanning and retouching recently maliciously dumped on me. So far, I have three solid days packed into the project so far and the collection has not shrunk that much. As long as I have to do this, I will do my reasonable best with only short cuts that are really difficult to notice. I have a real pile to get through when I have a lot on my plate otherwise. I just as well post several of the more interesting retouches I go through. Another real series will have to wait just as the Fourth of July fireworks are on tonight.
I'd set the date as about 1944. The Leica Standard 35mm camera was released in 1932. I'm sure Kodak started to crank out cameras that could use their 35mm film stocks soon after. The picture book title is The Night Before Christmas. It must have been a picture book for parents to read. It must have been shot during the Christmas season. I wonder if the fire was painted on the negative. It looks pretty cheesy to me.
The original was a ready made card for a photo insert. The closed card was 4 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches in size. The opening cutout was 2 X 3 inches in size. Was it sized for a 35mm print? It seems so. I would date the shot to about 1944.

Shot a video of myself goofing around, selected frames, overlayed them, printed, scratched the print, placed it on top of an open flame
Construction sites in China all look similar. We can always find a man who, for the whole day and even the whole night is in charge to open and close manually a barrier to filters the trucs and cars which are going in and out of the site. This is China.
