So- my grandfather has sold his home and has moved to one of the assisted living complexes in the city. One of the last things we found cleaning out the house was a box full of hundreds of old photos (my Grampy was a very avid camera enthusiast) I don't know how many more I'll find as this seems to be a bit of a "rejects" box (bad exposure, blurry developing errors etc) and a bunch seem to be family photos.. but I have found a few of around the city I've scanned, restored/touched up and would like to share with you guys! If you could help me maybe try and figure out what years these were taken.. it would be greatly appreciated!

A couple from Dartmouth, first:
(looking down the large hill on Cole Harbour Road/Lawrencetown Road towards the beaches; exact year unknown)
(Looking Northbound on John Cross Drive towards the back of Prince Andrew/Akerley; exact year unknown)
Now this is a quick panorama I whipped up using the following three photos after it. They were scanned at 1200dpi from an 8x10 contact sheet of 35mm proofs (the only one developed to a full picture was the last one above), so they aren't the highest of quality, but I think they turned out alright! (and they stitched together amazingly) I can't determine the exact year, but I think sometime around 1971.
I've got a couple taken from on the MacDonald Bridge (not sure an exact year on these, either):
This one I found rather interesting with what's visible in the background, modelling credit to my Grandmother, and Uncle..
All photo credit goes to my Grandfather John Helliwell
