Bit more info:
John Urton was originally from Grange Vale Forest Hall in Northumberland and was an Engineering Draughtsman. He died May 28th 1940. He left our house to Mary Elizabeth Urton Senior & her daughter Mary Elizabeth Urton Junior. Mary Junior died in 1979 I think and left the house to Janet Martlew.

I'll give it a try with autostitch cheers, we've not heard about the article or exhibition until I saw this thread so I think we'll take what we have down to the Lady Lever and see if it's any use to them and have a look at the exhibition too. Might have a look a better look in the loft too!

With large documents I usually put them on the floor & take a pic., standing on a chair if necessary. I've used this method on several of my visits to the archives. I'll be visiting this exhibition sometime; I see it's on till next May. The quality of those pics. is remarkable: the trend over the years to smaller format negatives definitely caused a loss of resolution as compared with the old large glass plates (my first camera used them; no comments about my age, please)
