That was a cool vid , I`m born and raised in Halifax and still live here . My family have been here since 1749 maybe a little longer , still doing research . I`m 53 and still learning about this city , it`s an amazing little place .
When you were talking about 84 and said that those buildings are still there you were wrong unfortunately. I just need to let you know that it’s now our central library with a big parking lot in the back. Look up Halifax central library and you will see how cool the new building is!
Neat history behind the name too. If I'm not mistaken, it was thr pen name used by someone who wrote into a local paper arguing for more local agriculture projects.
OK. It's not St. George's Fort. It's Fort George. Engine house = fire station. Ordnance yard. No, they weren't firing guns & cannons from there. It's where they took cannon off & on ships. It's where they repaired the guns. Storage. No. 25 is St Paul's Cemetery, also known as The Old Burying Ground. The monument you see is the Sevastopol Monument honouring two soldiers from Halifax -- Parker & Welsford -- who were killed in the Crimean War. Riverboats? Agricola St. Agric-ola. Named after a Roman emperor who was big into farming. It's where we get the word "agriculture" from.
Oh it also should be said that the arch at the entrance to the graveyard is a monument to the Crimean War; the only monument for that war in all of North America.
#25 they used to hang people there & its so built up down there it'd be hard to metal detect the good spots, plus the Halifax explosion scattered everything so I'm dying to metal detect down around there
Also no most of them are gone, other then the court house on Spring Garden Road, but on Queen street most of the houses are gone since it the corner of Spring Garden and Queen Streets has the new Library there
+TheLouisXXI Here is a Wikipedia detailing the St. Paul burial ground and the Crimean War Monument.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Burying_Ground_%28Halifax,_Nova_Scotia%29
hee hee before spendiin money on metal detectors,u bess look up on google earth to see if that old ordinance area is still open,not developed... and up on spring garden road at queen , all those buildings were long gone before you were born... me too almost.. but why would i waste time watchin this.. you are so out of date.. the engine house by citadel hill was a fire station at one time ! nothing to do with the waterfront... wellington barracks is not where u were looking,if its no 81 then look all around for it,geeeeee have a nice wonderful day of discovery

It would be interesting to compare this map to now! Amazing history.
wow Absolutly fascinating!
this map is the waiting room for my dentist lmao
It is Fort George not Saint George's Fort. Most people now refer to it as the Citadel.
That’s Agricola St at 7:20 FYI sorry if someone already pointed that out

I used to live on Kent St and on Barrington St. #25 is the Old Burying Grounds.
