Aerial photo of Colborne including Victoria Square, looking southwards

1934 map detail of Victoria Square, north orientation
DetailsThis hand drawn map, with its northward orientation, was made in 1934 and illustrates how the area surrounding Victoria Square shows some new development since the 1920 aerial photo. Most noticeably is the addition of the high school at the corner of Toronto Street and King Street which was built in 1922.
