This photo is called Mill Crew. It states on the reverse “Abner Bartlett in the photographer’s fur coat sometime between 1905-1909. I often wondered how they sharpened cross-cut saws but you can see here the method they used, with the man sitting at the bench.

Let’s take a trip back in time - 165 years to be exact with this photo of Alma in 1855.

Back to school Monday with a photo of Shenstone School after being out of service for 15 years.

Time for a Sunday drive to The Rocks, with this interesting postcard called The Rocks, Hopewell Cape, Near Moncton, NB dating from around 1917.

Here is an interesting postcard called New Brunswick, Canada… Land of Infinite Variety.

Here is an interesting photo amazing showing Gypsum being loaded on flat cars at Albert Mines sometime in the 1930’s..

Here is an amazing photo showing the last oil barge going to the Irving Pier in Moncton sometime in the early 1970’s.

Here is an interesting photo showing Currie Berry’s Restaurant and Dance Hall in Stoney Creek, which was next to the Steel Bridge. This photo dates from about 1949. .

Here is a great photo showing Frank Steeves (Gay) Store and gas pumps in Surrey. The new Ambulance Building is there now.

Back to school Monday, with a trip to the Harvey School. The old school in Harvey burned in 1941, and was replaced by the building which still stands to the west of the Baptist Church. Obviously, the number of children in that district dropped considerably between 1871, when the first school opened, and 1941, when the new smaller school opened. The "new" school eventually became a special-care home and then a private house.

We’ve had a lot of rain the past week, so a splash of colour is in order! What an amazing photo of Alma Wharf taken in 2014 by Doris Weir. Thank you to Doris for sharing!

Sadly, the Hillsborough Santa Claus Parade has been cancelled this year, although I hear Saint Nick is going to be making a drive though the village today. It also wasn’t looking good for a Santa Claus Parade Photo today, but thankfully Vaughn Snider came through with a whole collection from the 1996 Santa Claus Parade! (Not that we’re counting but that’s already 24 years ago!). So many people in the parade photos would have kids at the same age today, so be sure to click on the link to see the rest of the photos. There are 8 more!
