A photograph of extremely poor quality. It is my grandfather, who lived at 2, Raven Street, Higher Ince, Wigan. He died there, on the 18th, July, 1919, aged 67 years. During his younger years he served in the Horse Guards.

Albert ,although the photogragh has deteriorated , it's clear he had. military
bearing. Photographs as old as this are invaluable to our history, I wonder if the gentleman who enhanced the photograph earlier ,could use his magic and do some work on this one?

Sorry, gave it a try but the degradation is just too great - however, specialists in photo restoration, perhaps working from the original, may be able to improve it considerably.

Thank you for trying Ben. I thought it was too far gone, to give it a lay man's term.
