A Blue Reminder of the Past – July 6

Posted on July 6, 2019 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to Becky B for hosting July Squares of Blue

This is literally what remains of the old water station that provided water for the Good Year Plant that used to employ hundreds of residents from Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch (now south Etobicoke and part of Toronto). The plant was demolished about 30 years ago and replaced with housing.

glad they kept something, even though it is such a tiny element of what would have been once here. I enjoy industrial heritage.

  There’s a water fountain attached to it which is nice on these hot summer days.

  Actually it’s a huge improvement because the building was right in the middle of the park, on the water’s edge and it no longer served a purpose.
