Silent video – Blake Footage – Shingling on Stewart Street
| Filmed by John Blake, 1953-1956 |
In this short clip, someone took John’s camera and filmed Wilf Worley (in white cap) and John Blake (end of clip) shingling houses . With the Niagara Escarpment visible in the background, John Blake’s footage is a valuable record of the co-op effort.
