Winter scenes from Freeland, Murray Road and Tyne Valley, Prince Edward Island, Canada.  From 8mm home movies shot by my father, Harold Phillips, between 1962 and 1969.

The garage in Tyne Valley was built in 1961 - 62 by brothers Harold and Wendell Phillips, and they became a sub-dealer for D. Alex MacDonald Ford, Summerside, in 1962. The garage was built by Beecher MacDougall (foreman), Clifford Morrison and Waldo MacDougall (carpenters), Albert Sharp laid the blocking and ran the cement, and Ken Barlow and Wayne Phillips were general labourers. (Thanks to Myrna and Wayne Phillips for this information!)
