Liverpool Canadian Tire Fire July 1996
On July 9 & 10, 1996 the Liverpool Canadian Tire store was completely destroyed by fire. A few days after the disastrous fire, I recorded what remained. It was a sad day in Liverpool's history!

Queens County Nova Scotia - Photos from the Past & Present
QUEENS COUNTY NOVA SCOTIA
Photos from the Past & Present
By Tim McDonald
$24.95 Available at the Queens County Museum in Liverpool, N. S.
or Memories Cafe in Liverpool, N. S.
In 2013, I began working on a book on Queens County, Nova Scotia. In the book are nearly 200 old photos and postcards and nearly 200 new photos all from Queens County. Each page of the book shows 2 photos, the top photo was taken many years ago, the bottom photo shows a photo taken in the same location but taken in 2013-14. Between the 2 photos is a brief history of what was there, when it was built, when it was demolished or destroyed by fire, when it opened or closed. Each page of the book takes us back to a time before most of us were born. Having the new photo on the page, easily helps to identify where the old photo was taken. A book launch and signing was held at the Queens County Museum on November 29, 2014. Books are presently available at the Queens County Museum or Memories Cafe, both in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.

The top photo was taken over 100 years ago showing a view of Main Street in Liverpool with Gorham Street located to the far left. The bottom photo shows that same area in 2014.

Bowater Closes In Queens County
Since the closing of Bowater in Brooklyn, Queens County, Nova Scotia earlier this year, someone began a face book group and I've been adding lots of photos. Some of the photos came from the Mersey Quarterlies. Thought I would add them to the blog so people who are not on my facebook can enjoy them.
