Milton...

| My home town of Milton is ripe with UE opportunities, or shall I say, was ripe. The trouble with milton was up until recently space was limited as we weren't allowed to grow past our boarders, therefore abandoned and closed buildings are demolished in short order so that the land, the most valuable asset could be sold off and rebuilt upon. And all these happened way before I could UE or even know about this fun hobby.
Such locations include (All photos from http://images.halinet.on.ca)
The Gordon House, the land now has stores and apartments on it
Bruce St. Public School, demoed in 1973 now the land is occupied by the Milton Public Library
The Martin Grist mill, the first industry in Milton, destroyed by fire in 1963
The Supersweet mill, replaced the grist mill in the late sixties, demolished in 1990
Milton Power Co, provided electricity to early Milton from 1910 until it was demolished in the eighties, now occupated by stores.
However there are still lots of active historical buildings to explore. The new milton town hall (http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=23995) the old Milton town hall (now office buildings, I'll be exploring in there soon) the old Waldie Blacksmith shop, recently restored and active again. Plus a multitude of old churches.
