Arnhem, Beekstraat

About 1885, the family moved from Delft to Arnhem. In the period 1897-1904 the family first lived at 12, Walburgsplein in Arnhem. Later they moved to 28, Beekstraat. On the first picture you see the Beekstreet in 1890.

The next picture (unknown date) is deeper in the street. In the centre, vaguely, the Church of Walburgis. (In front there was Walburgsplein, destroyed during the Battle of Arnhem). 

Maria, Sara, John and Jenny and later the boys grew up in this neighborhood. Maria de Visser-Planje always spoke about her happy time in Arnhem.
