Five years ago, I discovered an old postcard from 1910 labelled Joyce Road on the Nostalgic/Sentimental Vancouver (Pictures) Facebook group. Warren Taylor, who posted the image, said the postcard belonged to his grandfather.

Everyone in the Facebook group was mystified as to where this was on Joyce Road. I believe I have solved the mystery!

Joyce Road is in the distance, as you can see a faint outline of the mountains in the north, and you can see buildings and houses in the trees. I believe the horse and cart are at the corner of Kingsway and Stamford, and the old house is the Collingwood Inn, also known as the Pig and Whistle.

I came to this conclusion because of the location of the buildings to the right and the white house in front of the horse. The building circled in the distance can also be seen on another old photo from the Vancouver Archives.

The Collingwood Inn once faced Kingsway, when it was Westminster Road, and at some point was turned around so it faced Stamford.
