Voici encore une partie de l'histoire de Verdun, La compagnie de Transport George Brown. Est ce que quelqu'un peux nous dire l'endroit et l'année approximative que cette photo à été prise?

Salut Guy, I remember George Brown's company but don't have any info about it. I also remember a "Snook Transport", I knew a couple of people in the Snook family. mpu
Weren't they on Wellington or there abouts.Near Canadian tire or Page and Sons. Steve
About 50 years ago Brown Cartage was located on
Cool Street right at the corner.

Margo, I estimate that this picture was taken in the early 1920s judging by the shape of the trucks. I lived on what was called Bond St (which was changed to Evangeline in 1937), around 1932 to 1935 near Hickson. This street is next to the Aqueduct between Church (De L'Église) and Hickson, then comes Lesage and then Cool. If we look at the photo,there are some Hydro Québec Pylons in the background which may not appear on the posted photo, which are installed along the Aqueduct, however, there should be a dyke behind the trucks which is not in the picture. I will do more research but perhaps some older members may help us determine the local. Guy
Bonjour,
Je travail actuellement sur un projet entourant ce secteur. Dans le cadre de ce travail il nous serait très pertinent de retracer la mémoire du lieu au travers différentes photos et souvenir. J'aimerais beaucoup entrer en contact avec vous afin d'en savoir plus sur cet espace qui est regroupe désormais divers types de résidences ainsi qu'un secteur industriel.
Vous pouvez me contacter au gab.laf@hotmail.ca
Merci et au plaisir de pouvoir échanger avec vous,
Gabriel
