These images were gratefully
supplied by Jill Trimble who lived opposite the studios in
Gladstone Road. They were taken Jill’s father around 1952.

|
The photographs were originally taken on film stock and
developed by Jill’s father in his dark room at home.

This is taken from the top of the Gasometer in Southall. It
shows
Queens Rd,
Gladstone Rd and Hartington Rd. The white long roof is that
of the studios.

This is Barbara Thomas, right, who lived next door to Jill at
96 Queens Rd. She was also in Southall’s film Child's Play.
Barbara and Jill are standing in
Gladstone Road
with the Studio behind them.

Jill concludes, ‘That is my bedroom window hiding behind the
tree. I can't believe these photos are nearly 60 years old.’

Technical note: These images
are taken from original negatives using an hp3570 scanner with TMA.
We then resized and processed the images using paintshoppro 9. We
did not set out to "clean up" the images hence some defects are
visible, but some settings were made to enhance some features in the
images. We deliberately did several "takes" of each negative using
different settings and these resultant shots have been selected for
display as giving the right "atmosphere" by the material owner. We
once again thank Jill Trimble for her generosity and involvement
with the research. |
