Images of people, communities and events of bygone years are few and far between, making them all the more precious today as we strive to instill a sense of history in our youth and the generations to come. Many of our loyal readers have recognized this need and have submitted old photographs to Downhome magazine from their personal collections. Scroll through to see these images for yourself and take a walk down memory lane.
Fish in Abundance
Women spreading fish in Marystown in the early 1900s.
This is a photo from June 18, 1978. My grandfather had no horse or tractor at the time, so he used the family car - a 1967 Chrysler Newport - to haul the garden plow. Only in Newfoundland!
Wilson and Beverley Temple, married Feb. 21, 1962 in Bishop's Falls, NL, celebrated our 50th anniversary this year. Also in this picture are Bob and Marion Brentnall on the left.
