Lower falls, Victoria Park, Truro

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • Scott McMillan said:
    The Ovens?
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Could be Scott McMillan - thanks! Maybe too steep and the water too calm for the oceanside paths at the Ovens?
  • Andrew Aikens said:
    I would say it's definitely the lower falls in Victoria Park in Truro, having grown up there (Truro, not the falls). See this photo for the same upper walkway, rock formations, and small offshoot fall to the left. Normally there's more water flowing over them! media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/09/82/68/4f/victo...
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Thanks for the photo comparison www.flickr.com/photos/96093673@N04/ Definitely looks like the same spot.

Parked cars and gathered crowds at an unidentified location - possibly Point Pleasant Park

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • Bill Jarvis said:
    The cars appear to have 1931 Nova Scotia license plates.
  • Lynn Currie said:
    Looks like entrance to lower Pt Pleasant Park. Circa 1930s as cars look more advanced than model T.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Good eyes Bill Jarvis ! Thanks - we'll add that date.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    WE'll add that as a possible location. Thanks Lynn Currie

Possibly rear of 5 Salter St., showing 80-90 Hollis St. in background

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • Bill Jarvis said:
    The Chevrolet has a 1960 license plate, which was also used in 1961. The Studebaker does not have the 1961 windshield sticker, so the photo probably dates to 1960.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Good eye Bill Jarvis ! When we can zoom into those license stickers it is really helpful for dating photos. We may never nail the location down, unless someone recognizes those tall buildings in the background.
  • Abbie Hudson said:
    Could the building in the back on the right be the old Halifax infirmary?
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Abbie Hudson Hi Abbie! It looks like it definitely could be the Halifax Infirmary, but we couldn't completely be sure, so I've just labelled the photo with that as a possibility for now. Thanks for your help!
  • Ryan Tucker said:
    The buildings in the background are ~80-90 Hollis Street (new civic ~1496 Hollis Street). I think that would mean this photo was taken from the north side of Salter (between Lower Water and Hollis)... possibly from a back/side yard of 5 Salter Street (Ref. Retrieval Code 102-39-1-1321)
