Credits
All of the following pictures were taken
ca 1928,
by Joseph James, an ex
Taylorton miner.
When his son Victor James
recently died,
The pictures were passed on to Gloria
and Don Kallis,
who live in Whitecourt Alberta.
Gloria has passed them on to me, to share with you.

Photo Captions
Like most of these old photos, no captions.
They were all in an Envelope marked "Taylorton".
Some had the dates marked on the back, as noted.
Most were marked with the year 1928.
I identified the Church from known pictures,
and assume the rest are really Taylorton photos.
We need your help in identifying the Buildings,
Places, and the People in these photos.
If you hover your mouse over the thumbnails below,
you will see a Taylorton picture letter(s) A-Z and AA- TT
If you know any info on that picture,
please email me with the results,
Please quote the picture Letter(s) with your message.

Hope you enjoy them as much as myself.

Views
Some of these photos showed 1928 as the
date on them
We know the 2nd tipple wasn't built until after 1935,
so this must be the first Tipple or other mining building
which is being shown under construction here,
started July 29, 1928.

Disclaimer
Note- the original pictures I have
scanned versions of,
from Gloria Kallis, some have been cropped,
and all converted to Grayscale, to save Bandwidth
and uploading time, for anyone on Dial-up.
In no case have I eliminated anything important.
Usually just the old snap border, and some gray blank sky.
I tried to leave as much of the foreground,
so you would see the dirt road etc.
I find most of the old photos get pretty yellow with age,
I prefer to see them in Grayscale as the original photo
would have looked. Some folks like the yellow look.
Can't please everyone though! |
