This photograph was found in the fantastic Vancouver Archive. I believe it was taken in Portsmouth circa 1903, somewhere near Western Parade on what is now Duisburg Way. Rough estimate of location on Google Maps.
I would be interested in finding any information about Letty or her aunt Lizzie...
Possibly taken near Western Parade, Southsea Common.
