d_bizzle Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Posted February 20, 2008 is there any way of copying the pics in high res to make some prints?? No idea, to be honest. Great idea though, there's some really interesting imagery in there! The same guy's also posted the following: London in the fifties http://www.flickr.com/photos/wasleso/se ... 118228765/ London in the seventies http://www.flickr.com/photos/wasleso/se ... 523169668/ Brands Hatch '66 http://www.flickr.com/photos/wasleso/se ... 529333611/ Lovely stuff.

You can't do this in the slideshow though. Just be aware of any copyrights.
john_3.0s Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 lovely pics there esp brands if u look at the individual pics and click the little "all sizes" magnifing glass icon in the top left then it enlarges it and gives you the option to down load the original size now all u need is some way of doing them all automatically!
Nettles Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Love the pics of Brands back in the day
deltamal Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Good pic's! intresting that 99% of the cars were made in this country!
d_bizzle Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Posted February 20, 2008 Good pic's! intresting that 99% of the cars were made in this country! Yeah, funny how things have changed eh?!
jimbo Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Good pic's! intresting that 99% of the cars were made in this country! Yeah, funny how things have changed eh?! I found it quite sad to look at.......The only things I spotted in the pavement/road were a couple of leaves. Not one bit of litter, or gum...... And no McD's/Starbucks/Pret/Subway and all that other identikit big brand crap that is repeated on every other street. I still think London is a great city, but I would burst with pride to be a part of it if it still looked that good.....
jimbo Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Sorry to put a downer on what is otherwise a great post!! They are fantastic pics
Andyboy Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Anyone notice the white Citroen DS XXK225 in the sixties slideshow? That's still taxed and on the road!
