This is a picture of Holland Street looking east when it was just a dirt road. Kilkenny Furniture was located at the corner of Moore and Holland Streets. To the right of it is J.A. Webb's Meat Market, Ernest Snow's Saddlery, and Davey's Butcher Shop.
Main street (Holland Street West) Bradford looking east. The white building in the foreground is the original post office and library building.
From the Bradford Witness newspaper: "A Public Library of over 2,500 volumes, in the Post Office building, with the postmaster [H. S. Broughton] as librarian, is fairly well patronized by the reading public."
Soldiers in front of Queen's Hotel on Holland Street, taking a break on their long march to Fort York for their winter dwelling and training. The soldiers were stationed at Camp Borden, but lack of shelter and proper living conditions forced nearly 5000 troops to march from Barrie to Toronto in October 1917.
