Every postcard that has a picture tells a story. Sometimes, if we give our imagination free rein, we can see ourselves in the picture.

This image shows a bit of construction work underway in 1923 on the northeast side of the five corners in Tavistock. Can you see yourself as one of the crew, labouring long hours for perhaps a dollar day in wages?

Might you be the chap on the bicycle, most likely making deliveries for one of the local businesses?

Perhaps you are the proud owner of the car in the picture. Was navigating the five corners as difficult for you then as it sometimes is for drivers today? Did the silent policeman in the center of the road help or hinder?

To see more postcards of local scenes check out the new section POSTCARDS. We have some posted now and will be adding many more as time goes on.
