Many of these photographs were published in the book "In the Shadow by the Sea: Recollections of Burnaby's Barnet Village".
History
Henry Stanley Irwin (1890-1966) started work at Barnet mill in 1924. Henry and his wife Elsie May Irwin (Taylor) Irwin (1894-1985) first lived with their two daughters, Eleanor (Nelson) (1924-2005) and Louise (1927-) in a worker's cabin before moving to the Barnet Mill's managers' residence. The household included Elsie's mother, Elizabeth (Shephard) Taylor (1868-1950). The family resided at Barnet until they moved to Vancouver in September 1939. Louise and her older sister Eleanor attended Barnet School like other children in the Barnet area. After the mill closed in 1931, Henry was unemployed for two years. During this time, he hired a horse and driver and cut logs from the slopes of Burnaby Mountain to support his family. The Barnet Lumber Company also known as the Barnet mill was in operation between 1925 and 1932. The mill was located on Burrard Inlet in the neighbourhood of Barnet and was one of the most successful local employers in Burnaby until the 1930s when the Great Depression resulted in a strike at the mill. The City of Burnaby eventually assumed control of the site including all of the homes when the company failed to pay it's taxes. The city then dismantled the mill and sold the property in two parts - the eastern section would become the Kapoor Sawmills Limited and the western portion, the McColl-Frontenac Oil Company.

History
In 1936, Edward Laleune (1886-1955) and Pamela Fredette Laleune (1888-1962) moved their family of four boys from Winnipeg, Manitoba to the Village of Barnet. Edward and Pamela had six children; one daughter Marie Germaine (Nesbitt) (1914- 1992) and five sons; Victor Armond, Joseph Edward “George” (1923-1986), Leo Joseph, Eugene Theodore “Gene” (Lalonde), Joseph Francis “Frank” (1931-2014). Edward was an ironworker for Dominion Bridge Co. and worked on the Lion’s Gate Bridge. The family lived in a house in the Village of Barnet from 1936 until 1951 when Edward, Pamela and sons, Victor and Frank moved to Duthie Avenue, Burnaby. The LaFavor family and Carey family lived at Barnet and were neighbours to the Laleune family. Pat Carey (1932-2004) is the daughter of Hugh Austin Carey (1892-1945) and mother (1902-1985). Hugh and Annie Agnes (nee McNeil) Carey had eight children; Neil, Hughie, Pat, Sheila, Francis, Ann, Dougal and Nola. The Carey family lived in the Village of Barnet from the 1903s until the 1950s. Florence LaFavor is the daughter of Orville Glen LaFavor and Cathryn Arlou "Kate" Lewis. Orville and Kate had five children who were all born in Barnet: Lewis in September 1925, Irene in December 1927, Clyde Martin in July 1930, Florence Alice in March 1933 and Cathryn Bernice on April 24, 1934.
