Photograph of hockey stick ashtrays from the Hockey Stick Factory in Bradford. A puck sits in the centre of the sticks. These were owned by Bruce Davey and Marg Davey, former workers of the Factory.
Photograph of the Holland River Bridge in 1920. The boat in the centre of the photograph are the hay-cutters of the Holland Marsh on the boat they would use to transport their daily work. This was prior to the marsh's drainage. Horses were transported up-river to work on the Marsh wearing wooden shoes. In the photograph, there are men fishing off the bridge, and on the right side (west of the bridge) you can see the water tower which trains used to fill up their water supply.
When this photo was first printed, the negative was flipped (so the fence would be on the right side of the photograph). We have corrected the photograph here to show how the house was meant to look. Dorothy (Reeves) Marks is in front of the house, located at 89 Holland Street East. Additions have since been added on to the house, and the trees no longer exist.
This series of photographs depicts the demolition of the Van Voorst-Armstrong house on Line 6, next to Bradford Valley Nursing Home. Dave Chambers (of Bond Head) used some of the bricks from this site for an outdoor fireplace. See related descriptions "No heritage designation for ca. 1850s home" for more information.
