Description
Colour photograph of the mural "Towpaths" by Ross Beard, c. 1991.
Painted in 1989 by Ross Beard of Welland, ON, at 1030 Niagara Street, 28' X 34'.
The scene dates from the mid-1800s and portrays the J.G. Worth sailing vessel being pulled through the old Welland Canal by a horse on the towpath.
The mural no longer exists; it was attempted to be saved when the building was demolished in 2022, but it came apart in pieces when it was taken off the side of the building. Several pieces were salvaged by the Welland Museum.
