Additional Description: Captions: (top row, left to right) Twillingate - South Side, about 1900; The first bridge between North and South Twillingate Islands was built in 1844.

These premises remained in the Slade family until the 1860s, when they were acquired by a former clerk, Henry J. Earle of Fogo. Earles sold the “room” to William Ashbourne of Twillingate in 1915 - in living memory the premises were known as “Ashbourne’s Upper Trade.”; A souvenir postcard sent by Georgina Stirling from Milan, Italy in 1898 at reads, “To Mr. & Mrs. Titus Manuel With all good wishes for the season from Georgina Stirling.”; The Original Notre Dame Bay Memorial Hospital; (bottom, center) Building were occasionally moved from one location to another in the winter months. When a “house haul” was to take place boys ran around knocking on doors to turn out all able-bodied hands. In Twillingate it was not much trouble to get 200-250 men - their reward a “lunch” at the end of the day’s labour.
