OK - your version is an improvement...
I just took the pic straight from the scanner & cropped it at 100% with 
a little sharpening - don't suppose there's any reason not to give it a 
"proper" work over just because it's a pinhole image.
Have to say there were very few highlights when it was taken on a cold, 
damp, grey day on the Essex coast at the end of December.
Thanks for the input
