Wandering Wellington Street

I had a wee whim to wander Wellington Street and to ponder a while what used to be here. Some elements remain and that's what tends to anchor anachronistic assumptions about what was, once upon a time. The Bajus Brewery basked in the afternoon sun (top photo) and I noticed that top-floor loading door has been turned into someone's balcony, though the barrels remain set into the wall!

Looking east to Anglin Bay, from the city parking lot I could see where oil tankers (left) and coal boats (right) would have docked to unload their combustible cargoes.

Those bollards! (above) The Dry Dock shares some signage:

And that 70-ton crane that was grounded from a Canadian Dredge & Dock vessel towers over two recent additions to the MetalCraft Marine fleet, built at CD&D's former site:

All derricks are not alike, and I don't think this Derrick No 7 matches the above one. Built at Kingston in 1939, she appears to be lifting the Bajus Brewery in this photo which is a panoramic view of where I was photographing the current scene:

The Imperial Oil warehouse is starting to take shape again, its roof gone but its walls and window openings looking more 'square'. Queen City Oil Co.'s limestone has some life left in it yet!

A Queen Street view of RMC's clock tower which I may be incorporating into a scenic backdrop on the layout!
