Posted by tribeachpunk The underground stuff is still a mystery to a lot of us out here. The tunnels under the city, while they do exist, aren't exactly accessible. There is some underground stuff at York Redoubt that I've yet to crack open and walk through. And at Point Pleasant, there is a staircase, to where, we don't know. |
Posted by Recoil Whereabouts in point pleasant is this staircase? |
Posted by sonikgirl did you mean the hole here with the two large stones resting against it? http://www.uer.ca/...ics/norm/25921.jpg if so yeah - guessing it was another storage area, think it had hooks, like the ones in the other buidlings. he might have a picture of it still kicking around? redux? |
Posted by reduxzero No pics, I don't think there was anything in there. Haha, I remember that day! For some reason, I miss Halifax. |

Fort Massey (1776 - unknown), Halifax A square earthen redoubt, with a blockhouse, barracks, and a magazine, was built between 1776 and 1778 on what was then known as Windmill Hill, presently at Queen and South Streets. It was to command the deep hollow formed by Freshwater Brook, which was a blind spot to the Citadel's guns, and also to cover Greenbank and Grand Batteries. The 17-gun earthwork fort was enlarged in 1782 to be 320 feet long and 170 feet wide, with two semi-circular works connected by a redan on each side.

Posted by tribeachpunk It's definitely not still there. |
Posted by Urbandweller When are you going to McNabs? I'd love to tag along. Been over there before but I only had a film camera then. |
