Photos taken at the turn of the century.
Kindly provided by Blake Mitchell,
Oyster Pond, Jeddore,
Nova Scotia

This picture just north of the #7 Highway and East Jeddore Road was taken
looking west, at the turn of the century.
The older
looking building on the right was a water-powered sawmill owned by Mr. John
G. Mitchell and his brother Andrew. (At the time of the photograph Andrew
Mitchell was deceased).
Just over the roof of the building you can see the top of another building.
This was a saw-mill owned by their brother David Mitchell. The flat-roofed
building with the windows was a carpenter shop which belonged to Mr. Fred
Stoddard, the leading carpenter for the area at that time. The smaller flat-roofed
building was a warehouse belonging to Mr. Arthur Webber who owned another
sawmill at nearby Salmon River. Just to the right of the picture there was
a general store also owned by Arthur Webber. (Arthur was the great grandfather
of my daughter, Christine). The three buildings across the water were owned
by Amos Webber, who also owned and operated a sawmill at nearby Ducklake
Brook. These three buildings are still in existence today.
The highway going
across the water was the old #7 Highway of which is hoped to be part of
the proposed Oyster Pond Walk.
