Article on the construction and history of Bradford's Trinity Anglican church. The opening ceremony was held on December 2, 1900.

From the Yesterday section of the Bradford Witness:
"Mrs. Earl Bowles submitted this week's photo of the Bradford Methodist Church taken before the First World War. The building still occupies a prominent spot in the town just north of the post office on Barrie Street and has since become the Bradford United Church. The trees which used to shade the street are long gone, but many of the older house along that street, including the church, are in excellent condition."

A photograph printed in the Yesterday newspaper section of the Bradford Witness. It shows Canada's national team in 1907. Bradford members on the team included V. Graham (top row, second from left), Dr. Lewis H. Campbell (top row, third from left) and Fred Coombs (front row, seated)."

The newspaper caption reads (note that the year and Dr. Campbell's first name are incorrect, see above for clarification): "Canada's recent Lacrosse world championship victory in England could mark a revival of our truly national sport. In Bradford Lacrosse was widely played early this century with the area producing several world-class competitors. This photo, submitted by Thomas Pratt of Islington, shows Canada's national team of 1915. Bradford members on the team include V. Graham, second from left, top row, Dr. Lou Campbell, third from left top row, and Fred Coombs, seated in front."
