My uncle was employed there for nearly all of his working life, including the time of the 1947 explosion. You get to it by way of the Bedford to Dartmouth road. >From what I understand, it was at one time on the Halifax side of the harbour, somewhere between the two bridges. Has been a long time ... can't quite recall which jetty area, between 1 & 4 I think! Pretty sure it was well before what is now jetty 5 in HMC Dockyard, which is quite close (almost under?) to the Angus L. bridge. I might not be remembering rightly, but am sure someone will correct me if so. Toni
