| Keywords: blackandwhite monochrome outdoor black and white NW corner of (Old) Island Highway (formerly Hwy. 1A) and Admirals Road in View Royal, BC on Vancouver Island. The corner property shared with the historic Craigflower Manor (built 1853-56) housed Big Ben's burger drive-in, the Discovery Motel (built early-1940s) and a Texaco gas station. In this northerly view can be seen the south end of the Craigflower Bridge (1933-2013) with the 1855 Craigflower Schoolhouse in the distance. All these buildings on this corner were demolished circa-1967 after the long-neglected Craigflower Manor's historic value became recognized and purchased by the federal government in 1965.
