Lower Lonsdale is a historic waterfront neighbourhood in the city of North Vancouver. Lower Lonsdale runs up Lonsdale Avenue from Lonsdale Quay to Keith Road. Its history is inseparably connected to the lumber and shipbuilding industries on the North Shore of Burrard Inlet, as well as ferry crossings connecting the area to Downtown Vancouver. Lower Lonsdale is currently going through large waterfront renewal processes. The old shipyards are being torn down, making way for new public spaces, condominiums, retail outlets and a hotel. ==History== In 1860 a Catholic Missionary was ordered to build a church on the water front of what is now called St. Pauls Church Shortly afterwards two men by the name of T. W. Graham and George Scrimgeour secured a pre-emption of , the first on the North Shore of the Burrard Inlet. They proceeded to build a lumber mill and named it The Pioneer Mills and was the first industrial lumber plant on the Inlet. This consequently initiates an influx of residents. With the mill facing bankruptcy, an American by the name of Sewell Prescott Moody bought the Mill. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lower Lonsdale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
