Photo below is courtesy of Debra Johnson-McDonald, who found it in Kathleen "Kit" (nee Lawton) Murphy's (her mother's) family album. "Taken somewhere on Bell Island, there was not a date."
The photo below is of the north side of Bennett Street between Bown Street and Petrie's Hill. The stock pile of iron ore in No. 2 Mine Yard can be seen in the left background. The Bank of Nova Scotia was constructed on Bennett Street on the east corner of Petrie's Hill in the summer of 1939. It is not in this picture, so the photo was taken before that. The houses in the picture are Company-built staff family houses. The nearest house received a full 2-storey extension sometime after this photo was taken. It is still standing in 2022, as is the house immediately east of it. Photo courtesy of A&SC, MUN Library, COLL-202, Acc. No. 92-036.
Below is James Case's first store (later Martin Rose's) on Scotia Ridge opposite Salvation Army Citadel, c.1926. Photo courtesy of John Wells.
Below is the Sports Field taken from the south looking north, c.1935-51. On the left of the photo is the south end of Bown Street where it came into St. Augustine's (original) Anglican School (out of the picture to the left). The large house in the center is the back of the Company staff-family house on the SE corner of Bown & Bennett Streets. The two houses between it and the Grandstand are Company staff-family houses on the north side of Bennett Street. The one on the right was destroyed in a fire in the 1970s. William Lindsay photo courtesy of A&SC, MUN Library, COLL-202.
​The photo below is (for me) a mystery photo. With the land and utility poles dropping away towards the ocean in the background, could it be No. 6 Yard? c.1930s or 40s? William Lindsay photo courtesy of A&SC, MUN Library, COLL-202.
​Bus on Stewart's Bridge, Lance Cove Road, over ore car tracks, pre-1950. William Lindsay photo courtesy of A&SC, MUN Library, COLL-202.
