Here is a photo of Holmes Steeves property in Salem taken in the 1940’s. Notice the tanker wagon, just in front of the house, does anyone have any idea what that was used for?.

Back to school Monday, with a trip to the Dawson Settlement School. This photo shows the rear of the building.

Time for a Sunday drive to the Hopewell Rocks in this circa 1928 photo. Notice the person in the bottom right corner, let’s hope the tides going out because if not, they’re in for a swim!

This photo came from Archives New Brunswick showing a prominent Widow’s Watch on the roof of this house. The widow’s watch was aptly named, as although the sea brought wealth to the county, it was also unforgiving with many a life lost. These watches can be seen all around the county on houses close to the water and you could see for miles down the river from them.

Today is the 75th Anniversary of VE day (Victory Europe), May 8, 1945 to May 8, 2020. Today 75 years ago the Second World War ended in Europe with the complete surrender of Nazi Germany.

Keeping with agriculture, here is a photo of D. C. Munro's Farm, Belview, Hopewell, N.B. Photo taken by John Woodruff. Notice the windmill on the barn.

It’s that time of year again, potato planting time. Here is an early photo of potatoes being cultivated in Lower Coverdale. That’s a lot of spuds!

Did you know there are 99 cemeteries in Albert County? This photo is of the Hillsborough cemetery taken in 1966 before restoration of cemetery. Notice in the background the Blue Bird restaurant, which is now Rocco’s Italian restaurant.

Back to School Monday, today we travel to Hopewell Hill. Hopewell Hill had a "Superior" school, which implied that students could take high school work there. Basically a two-room building, although it looks as if the attic space was usable, given the windows. The BW photo was taken about 1920, from the costumes. The other two photos show the building out of use before being torn down in 1966. Click to see them.
