Chaleur Regional Museum
Fonds - [ca.1890]-[ca.1957]
P28
Having attempted to trace this fond's history, it is unclear where these photos came from. There is a small indication that they may have arrived at PANB from the Tourist Bureau or a Beaverbrook collection in the earliest days of the Archives. They are also possibly from The Chaleur Regional Museum. The images capture the landscapes and families of Restigouche County between 1890-1957.

Northwest Miramichi Bridge (wooden highway bridge) under construction
Item - 1900
P34\16
Original steel Intercolonial railway bridge to the right. Excerpt from the Miramichi Advance, June 7, 1900, follows: “A substantial job is evidently to be made of the Northwest Bridge. The piles are driven for the foundations of the two piers on which the ends of the 180 feet trussed span are to rest. Mr. Henry Kelly of Chatham is foreman in charge of the building of the squared birch piers which are to rest on these piles. The chords of the 180 feet truss are of pitch pine, the lower ones weighing about 15 tons each. They are to be the longest and heaviest wood trusses in the Maritime Provinces. The draw is to be in the next span south of the present one. The old piers south of the big truss span are to be taken down to the water’s edge and new work to be put on from that up. The bridge will be practically a new one and cost over $20,000.” – Newcastle, New Brunswick.
