Historical information

Churchill Island Heritage Farm has a large photographic collection dating from the nineteenth century.

This series showcases photographs taken in the 1930s and 1940s and shows people who lived and worked on the Island during the Jenkins period. This photograph is of Ginger pulling a cart with Sister Margaret Campbell and Alice Jenkins riding along. Sister Campbell was Ted Jenkins' carer, and managed the daily running of the Island, eventually inheriting it after his death. Alice was the mother of Harry Jenkins - the owner of the Island.
