When we got home, I decided to look up the history of Deep Cove. I've been there a million times yet I don't know that much about it. I was intrigued to learn that the first permanent residents were John and Rhoda Moore in 1919 and they opened the first store in the area in 1927. In 1940, poet and novelist Malcolm Lowry and his wife Margerie lived on and off in a squatters shack over the span of 14 years. Apparently, squatter shacks lined the beaches of Roche Point and housed the Dollar Mill workers but people left because of The Great Depression. I was excited to find this neat little photo of the area from the Deep Cove Heritage Society. Hopefully, Martin & I can pop in there the next time we are in the area and I can find out a bit more.

Deep Cove is such a gorgeous spot, but I knew absolutely nothing about it's history - it sounds like it has quite an unusual and colourful past! You have me thinking I'll have to head up there and explore in the fall when we're back home. In the meantime, enjoy it for us - and keep taking pictures of Scout's adventures, they bring it smile to my face every time :) Hugs!

lovely images Veronika!! well 1st of all your darling thrifted dress is so pretty! i loved it with the white blazer from you last post and again now with the denim mixed in for a casual vibe. awesomeness!! and Deep Cove holds a special place in my heart, it's such magic to be by the ocean. from the sea air scents to the views of boats almost seeming to wave at you while they rock with the wind. i love it all!! plus seeing Scout always gives me a warm feeling in my own "deep cove"...my heart, that is :)
ReplyDeleteyah NV re-visit - although i didn't grow up there i do adore taking a day trip to explore its many beautiful pockets of wonder. thanks for sharing your historical findings too, interesting back story and good for you on being curious enough to source it out. xo ♥
These photos are lovely Veronika! It looks so calm and pretty there! I love learning about the history of places like this. Its amazing that it started out with 2 people and then grew over time to what it is now. Things like that amaze me haha! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeletein 5 short weeks i will be there, yay! love your photos x
ReplyDeleteI so randomly stumbled upon your blog today and I'm really glad I did! Beautiful pictures- I've worked out of Deep Cove for 7 years of my life (and I'm working here now, haha) so I've definitely had time to appreciate how beautiful it is here. :)
