Photo taken in Bradford in 1938, by Dr. Lewis Campbell. From the Bradford Public Library Archives.

Postcard Memories is a series of historic views, stories and photos of Bradford West Gwillimbury, a trip down memory lane on a Saturday morning.

Sometimes the archives contain a fascinating photo – with little to no background information.

Like this photo, dating from 1938, of a dog sled team that attracted crowds as it came through Bradford in 1938. The photo was taken by Dr. Lewis Campbell, and donated to the library archives by Luanne Campbell Edwards.

Who was driving the team? Why were they travelling by dogsled through the village of Bradford? Where were they going? If anyone has any more information about this photo, please contact BradfordToday.ca.

Details from the Archives at the BWG Public Library.
