Explore the South Western Ontario Digital Archive photo collection. (SWODA)
This video specifically looks at images donated to SWODA by the Windsor Police.
I am so happy these images from the 1940's, 50's and 60's were saved.
They offer an in-depth look at what life was like in Windsor, in the middle of the last century.
Watch closely you may see someone you know.

Enjoyed your video. Lived on Cadillac St as a little kid. 1960? Street names all familiar. Grandparents were visited regularly until about 1990.

Back in the 50s Mic Mac Park was known as Prince Road Park. They had a great little cement kiddie pool also for the younger kids. I used to swim at that park in the 40s and 50s. These are really great old photos of Windsor. Thank you for posting them.

Interesting. There have been a few places that I can think of off the top of my head that have had name changes. A big one is "London Street" being changed to University Ave.

Loved the then and now in video, wish you would have done that with all the pics. Street lights had SO MUCH more character back then. Great video!

Mike: Great video. I recognized a few of the guys in it. The one at London St. and Askin shows my family home. Thanks Gerry Pocock

Hey Gerry! Nice to hear from you. I hope you are doing well.

@2312Mr 5 месяцев назад

Doing well Mike, thanks. I saw your video on the coyotes and it was great. I sent you a long note on our experiences with them as we are backed onto the St. Clair Environmentallly Sensitive Area, but maybe it was too long as I didn’t see it as a reply the next day. We are on Ora St. which is at the end of Prairie Ct., so just around the corner from you. Maybe we can hook up and I can show you where there are a lot of them.

Absolutely wild to see the Veterans cenotaph not in it's downtown location by city hall!

Nice work. You did a nice job highlighting SWODA. The city directories are very helpful for researching family history. It fills in the blanks between census records. Many of my mother’s pictures have been donated to SWODA.

Horse-drawn carts were also still seen up to the late 40's/early 50's on the lower east side of Manhattan.

Now I know why there was so many cops in these photos, it was done before the days of Tim Hortons. I had forgotten that University Ave was once called London Street.

Reslly great compilation! Thank you for sharing. 👍👏 (When's the last time you saw a city cop on foot patrol, walkin the beat? 😄)

@MikeEvansWindsor 7 месяцев назад

Thanks. Not often, I see police on bikes though.

@5:10 in the video, April 1957, that's 1103 and 1107 Wellington Ave.

I live in Windsor Ontario and it was so cool seeing these photos and looking at them now. Most of the old buildings still exist and some are even abandoned and it’s nice to look back. Awesome video!

@MikeEvansWindsor 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! SWODA is an amazing archive. 👏

@edwardmiessner6502 7 месяцев назад

Wow, Windsor really looked like Detroit's Canadian mini-me. Looked kind of hardscrabble but also prosperous.

Police call boxes are still active in San Francisco. In the last earthquake they continued to work while cell service was down.
