4. Small blockhouse, 5. Large blockhouse. The streets and features
shown in pea green did not exist in 1753, and structures outside the
palisade (orange lines) were not developed in the "Garden Lots"
until the following year. King Street (purple) was double width
and at first penetrated the town from north to south. "The Parade"
was owned by the province until ceded to other others in 1828. The
Church of England, the official religion of Nova Scotia at this
time, was represented by a church (yellow) sited within these
public lands. |
