Description : Imagine travelling back in time, to May 31st, 1906 - the people, the shops, the prices, the images of the community... Now, anyone interested in the turn-of-the-century Bradford has the opportunity to "travel" back in time, with the reprinting of a complete edition of the Bradford Witness and South Simcoe News for May 31, 1906. The newspaper, a special edition that featured the merchants and businesses of Bradford, and included a large number of local photographs, belonged to Florence Bachelor. She and her husband Charles, lived in a house on Holland Street West, now the site of the CIBC. On her death in 1970, the paper came to her niece, Rose Magloughlen - who gave it to Joe Saint and the Bradford West Gwillimbury Historical Association. The Associatin has now reprinted the newspaper in book format, and is offering a limited number of copies for sale, for only $10, at the Bradford branch of the Public Library. Combined with the 1900 map of Bradford by Fred Collings, available from the Bradford West Gwillimbuiry Administrative Centre on the 11th Line, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the way we were, 91 years ago. The Historical Assoc. is looking for other mementoes of the past. Residents who may have old issues of the Witness, or other historical materials or photographs asked to share these with the Society, which would like to preserve and copy the material, for public viewing.
