Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past Wirral History Bombed Birkenhead

cool find dava man

Thanks guys.

Hoping to get more pics on soon.

Dava fantastic find man

Chris,a short while back you asked for me to enlarge the bombing target pics,I have discovered that the archives have got original German lufwaffe bombing maps that where retrieved by a spy.

Locations:

1) Wirral
2) Liverpool
3) Warrington
4) Manchester
5) North Wales

Basically the North West

I have had 2 copied but they are too big to scan and post.

Scan them in small sections ?

Scanning and posting,gulp,it took me 4 months to figure out how to post lol,yeah still need to outline the targets first as the originals are in color and the prints I have are in black and white,but will give it a go.

If you send scan them and send them to me, i will edit and highlight the targetted areas electronically. It will be much quicker and probably look better as well.

Cheers

Thats great Doc,Mark Kindley offered also to help me out on this.I will take you up on that as I think Mark has enough on his plate with sorting out the forums.Thank you Doc.Will send them through in an hour.

If your file ends up being +1mb
e-mail it to me and i can host it and send you the link

Will do Mark.Cheers bud.Going to make a start on it in a sec.

Mark maybe you could help me out with 2 other projects mate.I have an 1888 and 1858 map of Birkenhead that I want to post and again they are too big will have to scan them in sections.

I often find that with big stuff, it's easier to photograph it & then crop it into sections for posting, or simply re-size it down to a size you can post.

Cheers, Chris.

Now thats an idea,thanks Chris.
