"Historic Stone Fence", Sevastopol Twp
This fence or wall extends for hundreds of meters on both sides of the Scharven Lake road and could be close to two kilometres long. This section of the original 1890s fence has been rebuilt but most of the structure is in disrepair and sections are barely visible.
Cultural Landscape, Rideau Canal, Ottawa, Ontario
This section of the canal was a rather stark industrial landscape until the early 20th Century. The canal was bordered bt piles of coal, sheds of all shapes and sizes and a dry dock.

Opinicon Hotel, Chaffeys Lock on the Rideau Canal
