- Raincoat that belonged to Frank Eshelby. Frank Eshelby (1895-1974) married Annie Perrey (1896-1976) in London in 1920. The family moved to Capitol Hill in 1922 after investing in a couple of $5 lots on North Fell Avenue. The couple had two daughters: Winnifred in 1923 and Grace. The Eshelby's were longtime Burnaby residents. The raincoat was given to Frank by the Corporation of the District of Burnaby for cutting wood as a way to work off his unpaid taxes.
