South Street in Glace Bay, NS. late 1960's

A film shot near the present day site of the Seaview Manor on South Street, Glace Bay. It was a farm area up until the early 1970's. There are also a few shots of the newly built Miners Museum.

Thanks for the memories. Was that old unburnt clunkers at the end to fill in the drive-way?? It didn't seem like they are unloading coal. I can remember people in Cape Breton loading their driveway up with unburnt coal, (and burnt (clunkers) , if that is what they were called), for traction , in the winter.

Hehe, that was my grandfather doing the shoveling. Knowing him it probably was "burnt clunkers" he was putting on the driveway :) Good guess and insight, thanks.

This looks like South Street area? Is this near to the Miners Museum? Thanks.

Yes, just down the road at the end of South Street. It's just a field now in back of a house next to he Seaview Manor.

I grew up on Duke St. Your video made me miss my hometown very very much, even though I wasn't alive when it was shot. I lived there from the mid 70s until the mid 80s. Thank you so much for posting this beautiful and eerily silent video. Very haunting and hopeful at the same time.

Yes it is.

I remember going to the new General Hospital at the end of South Street back in 1986 during its grand opening...the now-destroyed old General Hospital on Brookside Street was where I was born in.
