Fork lift truck clearing the beach at English Bay in preparation for summer

Item is a photograph showing a fork lift truck clearing the beach at English Bay in preparation for summer. Caption from Vancouver Express: Spring cleaning is a must, even for the city's beaches. Winds and high tides of winter shift logs and other debris onto the sands. Here a fork lift truck makes sure English Bay will be clear for summer swimmers."

Miss Lillian Jackson : 1912, English Bay

Item is a postcard showing Lillian Jackson at English Bay in 1912. There is a photocopied note accompanying the image: "Miss Lillian Jackson 1912, English Bay. Later Mrs. Alex Hogg. Mother of Irene Lawrence. This picture taken on the beach at English Bay, Vancouver in 1912. Notice the old bath houses, the long pier (on the left) leading to the popular dance floor. The building under construction in the background is the Sylvia Hotel. The management of the Sylvia Hotel was so intrigued with this post card picture that they borrowed it and had it blown up, quite large, and the finished pictures are hanging in several areas of the hotel."
