GRANVILLE became VANCOUVER in 1886. The Post Office was located at the Hastings Mill about 1/3 mile from the townsite of GRANVILLE. There had been significant economic activity in the area and across Burrard Inlet at Moodyville since the early 1870's.
The old Hastings Mill Store and Post Office (circa 1865), is thought to be the oldest building in Vancouver, and was one of the few buildings to survive the great fire of 1886 that swept through what was Vancouver. In 1930 the store was moved from Burrard Inlet to its present site at Alma and Point Grey Road. Link to photo - www.findfamilyfun.com/images/hastingsmill1a.jpg
On the morning of Sunday, June 13, 1886, the City of Vancouver was only two months old. The fledgling settlement comprised no more than a thousand buildings on a small pocket of land along the Burrard Inlet, now Gastown and the Downtown Eastside. By that afternoon, only about three buildings still stood. The rest had burnt to a crisp in under an hour. The blaze started midday when fires burning mill waste spread wildly out of control due to strong winds. According to a newspaper account, the men watching over the clearing fires could do nothing but “flee for their lives.” Minutes later, the whole city was awash in smoke, ash and ember. Most of Vancouver’s buildings had been built with freshly-milled lumber that lit up like tinder. Residents had no time to pack up their lives before heading for safety. According to eyewitness accounts, flames engulfed Vancouver’s wooden sidewalks “faster than a man could run.” LINK to the complete article - bcanuntoldhistory.knowledge.ca/1880/the-great-vancouver-fire

Message on Canada Post Card reads - Vancouver, B.C. / July 14 / 1886 - Messrs - We returned the "Imperial" Cigars - they are a little too high for our taste. Please credit us with same. Yours truly - Malee & Brown
Malee & Brown were wholesale Wine & Spirit Merchants in Vancouver - during the June 13, 1886 fire they lost their business valued at $8,000.
(clipped from - The Victoria Daily Times newspaper - Victoria, British Columbia, Canada • Tuesday, Jan 18, 1887) - FAILURE AT VANCOUVER. A heavy failure is reported from Vancouver, it has been known for some time back that the wholesale liquor firm of Malee & Brown were in "deep water" financially. A few days since Mr. Brown sold his interest in the business to Mr. Malee, who, it now appears, was not able to finance the concern any longer, and yesterday made an assignment of his estate to trustees this city for the benefit of his creditors. The amount of his liabilities are said to be large, in the neighborhood of $10,000. A number of firms in Victoria are said to be interested in the estate to a considerable extent.

One of the best value Sauvignon blanc out there. Simple but elegant. Delicate and restrained acidity. Light citrus mixed with peaches and apricots. Best part is the lingering finish.
1. This is value because of the many shades of blue found in the sky and on the mountain
2. The subject is the clock tower and the mountain behind
3.The most visually striking this in this image is the large scale the mountains have
4. If I were to change this I would crop differently or zoom more

yes...you may notice I am missing 4 squares. That is because it's a bit bigger than I had originally planned, and so the 'spares' have been used up.
A visitor to the PacLease exhibit at the National Private Truck Council convention in Cincinnati looks at a Peterbilt Model 330, a class 6 truck available with an innovative medium-duty leasing program called the PacLease Value Spec. Companies have a choice between the Peterbilt Model 330 and Kenworth T270. Powered by the PACCAR PX-7 engine, rated at 220 hp and matched with an Allison 5-speed automatic, the PacLease Value Spec is especially suited for the food and beverage industry. The new program, announced at the NPTC convention, is in response to growing demand in the U.S. and Canadian medium duty lease market – especially in the Class 6 segment since drivers are not required to have CDLs.

Sign alongside a turnstile at Meadow Lane, home to Birstall United Football Club, who celebrated in 2021 their 60th anniversary.
Captured before a 3-0 victory, in the First Division of the United Counties League, over Leicester area neighbours Kirby Muxloe.
Three up at half-time, Birstall, during the second period, saw a penalty saved, struck the inside of a post three times and were denied in a one-on-one. Kirby Muxloe squandered three very good chances in the last 10 minutes.
