Street scene in St. Andrews; wagons, people, cars, and buildings decorated for the 1911 visit of Prince Arthur
Item - 1911
P23\23
In this photo, Saint Andrews is decorated for the arrival of Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught and the tenth Governor General of Canada. His visit marked the opening of the Prince Arthur School which operated until the 1960's.
the original photograph is held in the Charlotte County Archives and is embossed with the photographer's name: D. Will McKay. So, although the photograph is from a later date than the rest of the P23 collection, it was taken by the same photographer.
Horse and wagon at mouth of Aroostook River, Andover
Item - 1920
P36\9
This narrow bridge provided (one way at a time) crossing for horses and buggies. During a spring freshet the water could rise up to meet the bridge; however, this gentleman is obviously crossing during the summer when the water has gone down. This bridge was removed after the Trans Canada Highway was built. About a 1/4 mile down the Aroostook is the old train bridge which has had the rail bed removed and replaced with wooden planks. It has become part of the NB walking/biking trail. Snowmobiles use it in the winter. The bridge crosses close to where the Aroostook River flows into the Saint John River. Just beyond the bridge is a protected area for the endangered flower called Furbish's Lousewart, which only grows in this area. Near this area, also, is the beautiful Four Falls.
