Hello! While doing some Manitoba research in Bill Richard's site, ran across these old photographs taken in Brandon, Manitoba, Cda. If you look at bottom & into archives 12, there are some old ones for the late 1800's. Saw one with wooden sidewalks, some cutlery for a hotel that lost their original order in the sinking of the Titanic, etc. Am a fan of old photos and hoping there might be a couple more on the list who enjoy them too. The "Normal School" in Manitoba was a Teachers College. In one of the archives there was a photo of Indians at the fair and also some of leather postcards http://www.angelfire.com/trek/webzine/brandon1.html As a youngster, attended the Brandon Fair numerous times. Entering Brandon, one saw the Brandon Insane Asylum - name changed to Mental Institution later on. Brandon is the 2nd largest city in Manitoba - my birth Province. Some nice old photos of harvest machines, etc. Lauraine
