- Scope and Content
- Black and white photograph showing the entrance to the harbour at Port Stanley, looking southwest from Hillcrest, ca. 1915. View includes the route of modern day Willow and Edward Streets, with railway tracks visible, probably those of the South-Western Traction Company/London and Lake Erie Railway; London and Port Stanley Railway yards and freight slip dock on the west side of the harbour entrance; a large steamship entering the harbour; and piles of coal awaiting shipment. The Stanley Beach Casino and ferris wheel are visible in the background: the Casino was opened on July 1, 1909, later purchased by St. Thomas photographer James H. Hopkins and operated as Hopkins Casino, and destroyed by fire in April, 1932. The west breakwater (pier) is partially visible at upper left. File includes:
