Our town!

I stated on my last blog that I would show some of the scenes I see on my walk about the town.. well.. I haven't taken new pictures, but I've dug up some older shots I've taken over the past year or so.

Holyrood is an beautiful little town at the head of Conception Bay. It's Website has much useful information for the visitor and resident alike... http://www.townofholyrood.com/default.php?display=modNews&do=viewNews&nid=23

I'll begin by showing a view of the most often seen part of the town, the Main Beach area...

This photo shows a view of the old fish plant which is now in the process of being replaced by a new school for Marine Offshore services. I'll add a new photo when the buildings are completed. The new buildings are quite esthetically pleasing and fit into the look of the town quite well.









The next photo is a view of the Main Beach area from the hill overlooking the harbour on the Conception Bay Highway.










This is a view of the Walkway and mural along the walkway that depicts a train travelling through the town (the walkway was originally the train track bed).










..to be continued...
