I would say, check the hemlines. I say they indicate the early 1940's. That length is indicated on other shots that contain a date in the '40's. Thanks for putting this together.talkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040952201368753563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138056824724339086.post-76039909263791971262022-11-06T16:35:19.270-08:002022-11-06T16:35:19.270-08:00Thank you for a lot of happy memories...

Lived on Main and 15th for a year then 1804 Semlin Drive and 2 other homes until I was married in 1965. A proud "East End Rat" who never lived west of Main and left Burnaby in 1996 moving to Portland Oregon.

From houses to commercial buildings, everything had a "personality". One thing that has improved is the access to the water, it was very industrial until the 1970's, and access was very limited in the city area. Definitely one of the best-looking cities of the world!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02476553969380581124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138056824724339086.post-89896386351724830862017-05-28T20:51:12.556-07:002017-05-28T20:51:12.556-07:00In one of the pictures was BCER 1311, Fraser Valle...In one of the pictures was BCER 1311, Fraser Valley interurban. One of only two valley cars saved but the new owner moved it to Squamish. It survived for awhile but vandals got into it and thrashed to the point that it was scrapped. Sad! The other car BCER 1236 was on the Burnaby Lake Line. Along with many others it was scrapped at the end of service.
