Nobel CIL & Avro sites- first post with pics

Below are pictures of an area rich with history dating back from WWI when a number of companies set up facilities to make and export dynamite to support the war effort. Later on, additional facilities were added to test the after-burner Iroquois engines at various atmospheric pressure. The goal was to use these engines in the Avro Arrows... we all know what happened there. When Canadian Industries Limited (CIL- yeah, more than just paint!) packed up their explosives shop in 1982, nearly everything was demolished. For some reason, 2 shipping-receiving buildings remain- perhaps to aid with the ongoing environmental clean up.

There are many many many other foundations around the properties that can be mated with historic photos. I'll try to post some when I get time.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing photos of the location.

No doubt most of you have seen the earlier thread I started, but in case anyone skipped it, more information on the location (no pictures...) can be found in this thread: http://www.uer.ca/...d=1&threadid=47260

Since I'm a basic user [rolling eyes] I cannot see the thread or the location in the DB, but here are some photo's when AOTU visited the BIL/Orenda Engine Test Facility location just off HWY-69 in May 2007.
