Then & Then and Now: A Century of Change in White Rock

The White Rock Museum & Archives’ new video, entitled ‘Then & Then and Now’ features photographs by Walter Calder, Russell Porter and Hugh Ellenwood taken from similar vantage points of locations all around White Rock, B.C. in the years: 1918, 1986, and 2011.

Specific sites from White Rock include the Rock, the Pier, the Station, Martin Street, Marine Drive, Elm Street, Vidal Street, Buena Vista Avenue, Victoria Avenue and Gage Park.

We hope that you enjoy this photographic journey which documents the changes that have occurred in our favorite seaside community over this past century. Explore the city and see if you can find the locations shown, in order to recreate your own photos of these iconic places.

All images are from the White Rock Museum & Archives collection unless otherwise noted.
