This one was fun to restore and colour. This is the first motorized vehicle owned by St. John's City Council. This image is taken at the corner of Adelaide Street and Water Street, circa 1915. Civic 334-344 Water Street are shown. Sitting on the steam roller is William Taylor, believed to be the first operator of a City mechanized vehicle. James Snooks is leaning against the steam roller. Two other Council employees standing at the right of the photo. Check the comments to see the original before restoration.. Original photo courtesy of City of St. John's archives Photo #:07-04-001. Original included.

Still on the theme of outdoor pools, here is one I restored and coloured of swimming in Bowring Park's Southbrook pool in the 1940s. The pool opened in the 1920's. Due to concerns of water pollution, the pool was closed by City of St. John's in the 1960's. Picture provided by C. Rusted. Enjoy this restoration?

Dip anyone? Rennies River pool in 1945. (colourized) I knew there was a pool but did not realize the extent to which it was developed. Unfortunately it closed in 1953 due to the polio outbreak. One of my favourite pics to restore\colour.

Here’s a follow-up to my previous resettlement post. Here, Malcolm Rogers is walking onto shore after bringing a house to Dover in 1961. The haze in the background is due to a forest fire that was burning at the time.
