Back to church Sunday, with this postcard of the Methodist Church in Harvey, NB. The postcard states the church burned in 1936, there is no date when the photo was taken but probably circa 1910.

Here is a great photo of the early steamship, the “Wilfred C” on the river from about 1910. Does anyone have any interesting stories about her?

Here is a great photo of showing the Jones Quarry about 1900. Large pieces of Gypsum or chunks were broken off the the cliff faces and moved by hand to a loading area. Then dumped into narrow gauge ore cars to be taken to the plaster mill for refining.

Here is an interesting fact, it took 7 cord of wood a day when they were firing the gypsum plant to process the gypsum. Now that’s a pile of wood! This photo days from around 1890.

Here is an early photo of a gypsum quarry around Hillsborough. There is such a wide range of ages in the photo. This photo dates from around 1890.

Another amazing shot of the gypsum plant in Hillsborough. You can see the train from yesterday’s photo on the left of the photo.

Back to work Monday! This is just such an amazing photo of the Canadian Gypsum Company mill in Hillsborough from 1956.

Back to church Sunday, with a trip to Saint Alban’s Church in Riverside-Albert. This is one of the most beautiful churches anywhere, and if you get the chance make sure to take a peek at the interior, it’s just as grand.

What an amazing shot of the schooner Vincent A. White just before it’s launch at Alma, N.B., 1918. You can her sister ship, the Meredith A. White, just to the right of the photo.

A great shot of the ship’s cargo at the Alma harbour around 1932. What do you think the barrels contain? Could she be a rum runner?

A great low tide picture from Alma around 1932. Tomorrow’s picture will show the same ship at a different angle.
