Description
Colour photograph of the mural "Welland Trolley" by David More, c. 1991.
Painted in 1988 by David More of Red Deer, AB, at 1 Niagara Street (formerly Welland Hotel), 18' X 14'.
This mural features three images: a street car scene, a conductor and four horses racing to the finish line in a race at the Welland Fair, around 1920. The artist said that the Welland County Fair was a long-time highlight in the Niagara Peninsula, and fair-goers would come from far and wide to attend the annual event, many riding on the inter-urban railway that ran alongside the fairgrounds.
