I find the period photos of Hanley Spur extremely interesting. In case you haven't seen them already, here are two aerial photos: the first is excellent, showing the southern part of Hanley Spur in all its 1924 glory. http://lvec.ca/Images/Figure4.jpg This one from 1951 is also not bad: http://lvec.ca/Images/Figure5.jpg
ReplyDeleteThanks for those photos, Drew. So much detail in them!
