A charming photo of the roadway north of Courtenay, c. 1905. The card was sent to Theed Pearse from John William Flinton, possibly between 1918 and 1926 when Flinton was the vicar of St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Sandwick. The image was captured by Walter Gage.
Flinton (1868-1938) came to Vancouver Island as a missionary in the early 1890s. He served over half a dozen parishes on the island before retiring to Victoria.
