Brant's Pond

[scotto]

Attached are a few pictures (one is a painting) of Brant's Pond or Inlet which was located south of Joseph Brant Hospital on the harbour side. Thanks to member Drogo for the pictures and a little insight into that era (1902)

When these oldies were sent in I asked what the strip of land on the left was in photo#1?

If you look at the width of the Beach Strip at the Brant end you will see that it would have required lots of land filled in to end up with enough to put the road dept. and water ponds behind JB Hospital and have enough to build two bridges and service roads.


They were from about 1902. Don't have exact dates.
When I was copying Corey information from Thompson Diaries at JB Museum there was a reference made by Thompson about two of the Coreys catching a large number of fish in one day in Brant's Pond.

Thanks again to Drogo!
