I just talked to a man today. He's born in 1948. He said he used to ride a horse to school in Surrey, BC. One horse per person.👀
Awesome video thanks for the add!
Great look back at history!
i grew up in the heart of whalley 102 and whalley ring road 71-89 it was fun still fields to ride in bushes to build forts in , ponds to swim in 🤢it was the seventies after all , it’s not the same anymore but nothing is
A few mistakes in your history. The main one calling the highway from the 1904 bridge to the US border the King George Highway.
The actual King George Hwy was opened in 1939 and only went from Bertram Rd at 62nd Ave to the border. The portion that went from the train bridge to connect to the existing Yale Road was first named the "New Yale Road" then soon after the "Pacific Highway". The portion of the Yale Rd west from the junction down to Brownsville was called the Old Yale Rd.
When the Canadian government decided in the late 1940s that there should be a national highway from coast to coast the section from the Pattullo Bridge out to Fry's Corner and beyond was renamed the Trans Canada Hwy, from Fry's Corner south to the border retained the Pacific Hwy name.
In 1964 with the opening of the #1 freeway the Trans Canada going through Whalley was then changed to the King George Highway with the section from the junction out through Langley being named the Fraser Highway.
Other than that great video.
Well done
What? No homeless camp? How can that be?
long live whalley
Ahh, this was great. Thanks.
I lived in Whaley for 2 years
it's "Patullo", not "Patulla". Other than that, great look back.
Actually, it was the second Pa-too-la to begin with. The pronunciation has changed over the years. The old guys used to say "Pa too la" bridge. We now say Putt-uh-low. The old ones used to take a ferry across the river from New Westminster and one winter the Fraser froze over and they could walk across, or so they say.
Could anyone help me please? I am looking for where exactly the "Bar X Motel" stood. I remember it from 1968
You left out the “whalley burnouts”gang 1988 !
Back when Surrey was nice and not a third world dumping ground...
😂👍
Awweee before trash came into the city 😔 and ruined it
No. Mr whalley would not be amazed.
Yeah he would. Maybe not with these junkies and drug addicts like you and your family. Lol.
