Cow Bay area historical ‘remains’ doomed by Phase 2??	Bridge abutment dating from early period
	Below is what it looks like now While it seems historically pleasing to recycle this ramp into 21^st century to do what it was meant to do at town’s origins ---- seems too late as ‘plans already drawn”

  Local Historian Ken Campbell had seen earlier photos of the bridge and directed me to the Prince Rupert City and Regional Archives

From road (left) it looks like a wall --- but when seen from side it is recognizable as some kind of ‘Ramp’--- see lot 1 below

See UPLANDS story for context

The city has purchased in anticipation of modifying access to the cruise dock two properties for $630,000, I have been told

Presumably new access roads will be built and the properties later sold	Photos from the Archives
	This is a 1925 photo; amazing quality given nature of airplanes and cameras of the time. Below is an enlargement showing the bridge clearly. Presumably the buildings in upper right are still standing while those on lower side of ‘ramp’ now gone

	Gone by 1937
	The Ramp is still there but the bridge over the train tracks is gone. The present buildings all seem to be in place by this date. Later photos don’t show the ramp so clearly as it becomes overgrown with vegetation from non-use. Thanks to time, knowledge of Mrs. Barb Sheppard at Archives
