I used to do my own Photographic developing and printing in black & white and later on in colour even did my own slides.
my grandfather was a founder member of the Preston camera club
he had a lot of very old negatives ie Preston guild 1902 on glass
he had a book of recipes for his own developers that i used to use
and there was a chemist on New Hall Lane in Preston called McLaughlin's he was into developing his own photos too so he would supply the chemicals needed including Potassium Fer cyanide .
