Angus Street in Port Alberni stretches from Kingsway Avenue near the waterfront to Seventh Avenue, where this photo was taken.
According to The Albernis Then and Now: 1912 to 2012, the street was christened Angus when the townsite was originally laid out. The makeup of New Alberni (later changed to Port Alberni) was mapped out by Dominion Land Surveyors at the turn of the century. Land was cleared and avenues were laid out north to south and numbered one through 12. Streets ran east to west and were given Scottish names.
