All Photos from the Museum of Science and Technology—except if noted
Hi Linda,
Many of these pictures were taken by Aubrey Mattingly. He was our uncle. His archive of 6,000+ photos and railway memorabilia extended recorded the history of the railways in the Ottawa Valley between 1928 and 1984. It is the most comprehensive local history of its kind and was accepted by the National Museum of Science & Tech. Many are scenes in and around Carleton Place because of our family connection. He inspired me to also be a railway fan.

The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum actually has two photographs taken during the Royal Visit. The first photo is of the Carleton Place train station (where Tim Horton’s sits today) decorated for the Royal’s arrival on the 24th of September 1901. The second was taken the day before at Britannia Bay during the War Canoe Championships.
First picture– you are looking southwest towards the station. Houses in the background on Coleman Street are still standing today.

Yesterday Scott Henderson found this photo on Twitter and it got me digging. Who knew who knew Carleton Place had a Royal Visit? The Duke of York of course became King George of course.
So I went hunting and there are all sorts of photos from the Museum of Science and Technology site of our trains and train station.. Here are just a few.
Remember this sound? Play it while you look at the pictures…
