As others have pointed out the color cast appears to be from the negatives aging.
My first suggestion is to use an artificial light source. The color temperature of the sky changes all the time. The color temperature of the artificial light source is not important, only that it stays the same temperature from first to last. One of these from Amazon or whatever equivalent source you might find locally should work: http://tinyurl.com/h5bc63y Secondly, I opened the image in Camera Raw and used the white balance eye-dropper to select a neutral tone. In the image shown, the white cap on the church steeple back near the viaduct seemed to give the best results. The sky turned blue anyway. That may be the easiest way to batch process a group of images from the same roll of film. Fix the white balance for the first one and then synchronize the correction for the rest of them.

I picked up a slide copying attachment for my old M42 bellows with a view to copying all my slides & negatives. I know you guys all use Epson scanners but they are very expensive here. I set it up with a Super Tak 55/2 which gives about 90% coverage. 65mm is needed to get 100%. (Unfortunately I cannot use my K-mount lenses unless I replace the M42 flange with a K-mount one). Anyway, it works fine and as I would probably crop most of them, 90% is OK. Colour rendition & sharpness are good. Slides, no problem. However, I am getting yellow colour casts on the sky with negatives after inversion. Using an 80B filter on the lens or using the filters in Elements gives more or less the same result. Shooting RAW or JPEG makes little difference but shooting RAW allows me to batch process very easily. I used the sky for illumination. I can easily process 50/hour.
