I wonder if anyone can help I bought this photo of Key Hill Cemetery a couple of years ago off ebay. It is a sterio photo. It's a lovely photo which shows the magnificent chapel sadly gone now. I would like to use it on some items to sell like bookmarks to help the cemetery funds. It would be nice if it were a little clearer or sharper I would be greatful for any help. I enlarged one side to show the photo better but that's about all my talents can do! Thanks:)
 
How's this? I've kept the sepia tone, I think it adds to the 'history' of the shot.
 
Thats lovely thank you John and Lloyd I am going to save both pictures.:):)

Lovely picture Wendy - wouldn't it be lovely if the chapel was still there....... I looked at the photo of the wall titled "Key Hill" that you mentioned - It does look like the wall of the cemetery and the curve of the wall seems to match where we were standing planting bulbs last week.

I agree Pollypops. The wall would be on the other side if it was Key Hill Drive. I also think it looks like the area where we were planting the bulbs.

John thank you I have several saved including yours I am sure we can make something from them.
 
Here is the cemetery about 1903 showing the chapel

Not 100% sure of this, but I think this is one of the courtyards that backed on the Key Hill cemetery...
 
Wow this is becoming a very interesting thread to me thanks all!!:):)
