This image was taken by the Bishop Barker Company that was owned by famous pilot and Canadian war hero, Billy Bishop.

It shows part of Aurora that used to belong to John Mosley. Town Park is visible in the top left corner, along with the roof of the drill shed. The section of road that runs diagonally in the bottom right corner is Yonge Street, which could take a traveler directly to Toronto, if they so desired.
