1966, Drive Up St Peters Rd.

This video is 1966 and begins by the Rail Tracks, on the left is the Jail and on the right Walter Burhoe's Whit Rose. It then goes by our home and on the left , The Cake Box, Berry's , Mrs Hudson's, Carver's Oil. The vehicles on the left are, Harley Ings car, a wagon maybe Art Love's and Wacky Carver's Panel truck.
The Nash parked in front of the Drug store looks like Earl Jewell's.
Then on the right Elmer's BA .
The video turns just after Archer & MacDonalds Furniture and Harold MacInnis's store and down to The 36 where it is being drained.
The fly over Parkdale and Charlottetown is interesting, notice Roper's Esso, SR Johnston's, St Pius.
The smoke from Maritime Electric was constant back then.
The Provincial Buildings are under constuction and Gov't pond is still in tact, also Coast Guard is not yet built.
Then out to East Royalty to the Incenerator.
