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.
A photograph depicting part of Holland Street in Bradford, taken by Lewis (Lew) Campbell in 1938. Hammell's Grocery Store, Gardner's Hardware and Queen's Hotel are visible in the photo.
The article accompanying this photograph gives a brief history of the Queen's Hotel, rebuilt after Bradford's great fire of 1871 as Western Hotel. The Western Hotel burned down in 1890, and the structure in the photograph was built soon after. It was owned by William Whyle in 1906.
