A Snow Covered Old St. John's in Judge Prowse's Time


With snow in the forecast and Judge Prowse Presiding just released I wondered what Daniel Woodley's winter days in old St. John's would have looked like.

This undated photograph of Duckwork St., St. John's, Newfoundland which I'm going to assume was taken during Judge Prowse's time (1834-1914) is housed online by the Centre for Newfoundland Studies, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador
