On Sunday, November 6, 2011, it was the perfect day to go for a walk through Woodstock. I took a walk with my cousin from my grandfather's Upper Woodstock home and walked down to the downtown walking bridge over the Meduxnekeag River. We then walked along the walking trail along the Saint John River to Upper Woodstock and back to my grandfather's house.
It was also a perfect day to snap several pictures along our walk.

The mouth of the Meduxnekeag River.     Most area trees have shed the majority of their leaves ...  ... while some have barely begun to shed their leaves.  The Grafton Bridge from a distance.  This concrete wall is all that remains of the former Woodstock water pumping station.  The Saint John River.  A lookout over the Saint John River along the trail. In the 1800s, a two-tier bridge used to cross the river somewhere in this area. The top floor was for trains and the bottom was for horse and buggy. A sketch of the two-tier bridge will be posted on The Shiretown Blogger at a later date.  The Grafton Bridge.        Graffiti on the abutment on the Woodstock end of the bridge.  The abandoned CPR railway bridge on the Grafton side of the river from the distance. This bridge was damaged in the spring freshet of 1987.  The back of Riverside Court Retirement Home.  The abandoned CPR railway bridge on the Upper Woodstock side. This bridge remains fully intact, but is slowly crumbling into the Saint John River as it has already been neglected for nearly 25 years.  We must still be in the midst of a provincial election in Upper Woodstock. This Vote David Alward sign was hanging on a pole in a driveway in Upper Woodstock.  Another view of the abandoned CPR railway bridge in Upper Woodstock.  An abandoned garage and house in Upper Woodstock. The house was destroyed by a fire a few years ago but there it sits.  A nineteenth century general store, tavern and living quarters along Route 103.  |
