Nanaimo Area Historical Photos

I fiqured out why the angle was not right on those photographs. At the time of the pictures, Cameron Island was still an ISLAND .. . the end of what I thought was Cameron Island was where the Gabriola Building is today (the one to the south of the Beacon ). The docks might be on Cameron Island, so Riverrat, parts of your imagination might be correct after all . .... .

Anyone know how to break an animated gif into its component stills?

Simple way is to do some screen shots and paste them over in your MS Paint program. Save as JPEG and then put them in mydocuments or where ever. Crop them as well. I'll work on that if I get a chance.

Easiest way... open in Adobe ImageReady.. click 'File--> export all frames as files'

Done!

Came across this photo while searching my archives.

Photographs of my grandfather at a mine, during the 1950's near Jingle Pot Rd. I'm thinking this is the Wellington end of Jingle Pot Rd.













----------------

And this has to be Departure Bay, also in the 1950's

St. Paul's Lutheran Church, on Harewood Rd & Shepherd Ave. In the 1950's. (no "fun-centre" next door, yet)

Some 1950's road-trips, by my dad and his family:

Cameron Lake:



I think this is Qualicum Beach, on the old Highway near where the 7-Dwarfs motel used to be. The picture in Dad's album before this one, was of a beach that looked like Qualicum.



Malahat:



6-Mile Pub in Victoria.

Some local logging in the 1950's. From my dad's collection:

Hi Flugel Horn. Kudos on the pics. The one of Qualicum beach looks to have been taken from the Shady Rest Hotel. Great shot. I love the pic from the Malahat. I guess that would be the "old", Malahat Chalet, and the 6 mile pub looks like the end of an old fashioned VI pub crawl. Somewhere I have a pic of the Old Mill Resteraunt back in the 50's or early 60's,(my folks owned it briefly). I'll dig.
