Woodleigh Replicas
Woodleigh Replicas is a park of miniatures situated in the rural community of Burlington outside Kensington, Prince Edward Island. The visitor attraction was originally opened in 1957, but closed in May 2008.
It was started about 1945 by Ernest Johnstone, a veteran of World War I and his son Archibald Johnstone, a veteran of World War II. Construction continued through the 1970s. The elder Johnstone, of Scottish descent, named it after his ancestral home in Annandale.〔Wayne Thibodeau, ("Woodleigh Replicas up for sale" ), ''Journal-Pioneer'' (Summerside), May 29, 2008〕 It featured replicas at varying scales of landmarks from the United Kingdom including St. Paul's Cathedral, Anne Hathaway's cottage, Shakespeare's birthplace, The Old Curiosity Shop, and Dunvegan Castle. The most ambitious feature is a replica of the Tower of London, which covers a substantial portion of the site and which includes the Armories and replicas of the Crown Jewels. The replicas, many of which were built of mortared stone, still remained intact in 2011.
The 〔Amber Nicholson, ("Regal real estate: This is your chance to own your own ‘castle’" ), ''Journal-Pioneer'', July 23, 2010〕 attraction was closed due to falling attendance and the declining health of its last private owner, Peter Steele.〔 The province ( Government of Prince Edward Island), which held the mortgage, failed to find a buyer for the property when it was first offered for sale in June, 2008.〔Wayne Thibodeau, ("Mortgage sale fails to find buyer for Woodleigh Replicas theme park" ), ''The Guardian'' (Charlottetown), June 27, 2008〕
