Great shot, just makes me want to ask questions mind

What size lens is it Fangman? looks very straight.
Can you remember what you where thinking composition wise perchance? ...what would you do different now etc.

I still have the Nettar - f4.5 Novar lens and prontor svs shutter. The first new camera I saved up and bought about Dec 1954 in Tolworth Surrey. The 120 backing paper made just the right cases for homemade fireworks! Be on a terrorist charge nowadays for such manafactures! Developed in microfen in a blacked out bathroom and printed on multigrade as far as I remember. My dear mother many years ago in the clear-out for a house move whilst I was a med School managed to lose most of my and my fathers 1920-30's negatives and prints as well as my brass rubbings and sketches of such churches as this.
