There are also some photo's of Lloyd's Cove at this same url https://www.trails.com/trail-lloyd-cove-nova-scotia-5241026.html *********************************** Another point of reference: Chapel Point Battery (2) (1914 - 1917, 1940 - 1948), near Sydney Mines Located on the southern side of Lloyd's Cove, near Church Street and Amber Drive. In August 1914 two 4.7-inch field guns were emplaced in a temporary earthwork battery on the 120-foot ridge about 700 yards behind the point. They were removed in November 1915. In October 1916 one 4.7-inch field gun was re-emplaced on the 160-foot ridge behind the point. It was relocated to Cranberry Head (see above) in May 1917. In 1940 two 4.7-inch MK7 quick-firing guns were emplaced here, later replaced in 1944 with two 4-inch twin barrelled MK16 guns. This was the WWII examination battery until decommissioned in 1943. A four-story concrete fire-control observation post was also located here, disguised as a church. Three searchlight positions were also located here in WWII. Extensive concrete remnants still remain, including the FC tower. The site is now town property. ************************************* Map showing other places around Lloyd Cove, Cape Breton: http://travelingluck.com/North+America/Canada/Nova+Scotia/_6058004_Lloyd+Cove.html#local_map Carol MacLean out here in very sunny but windy & cool Vancovuer, BC ************************************************************************************************************** >I am searching for a place name called "Lloyd's Cove," or at least that is >the way it was shown in my source information.
