Abandoned towns in NS

I know there was at one point a thriving coal industry in Nova Scotia. Any ideas about abandoned towns or such? I'm looking up ghost towns in NS now.

Sorry I really hate asking where places are but I'm not from Nova Scotia and have no idea where the "mountains" are.

I don't know about anyone else, but these seem the most interesting places to investigate and look around. I think both locations, Roseburn and Rockington are in Cape Breton but I can't find any information on either of them except the website listed above. Has anyone here heard stories or histories of the locations? Is there any ghost towns closer to Halifax? I heard about one fishing village that contains a mill, a house, and a fishery completely abandoned in the 1800's. Comments/suggestions on finding more information on ghost town?

That almost sounds like the old East Jeddore Fish Plant, before Baker's Point Fish Plant was opened

Have faith only in those who you trust. And hold who you trust close to you for you have no idea when you will need them most.
