Place: Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia’s YouTube Channel
Speaker: Dr. Howard Donohoe
Geologist Dr. Howard Donohoe will guide us along Spring Garden Road, talking about local building stone, the quarry location, building styles, and important geological history from the building stones. All of the ironstones originated at the Dalhousie quarries while the granites are not only extraordinary in their diversity but also in their location of origin. Only a few locations have granite from the Purcell’s Cove quarries.
