Bedford Highway
The Bedford Highway is a highway in the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia that is part of Trunk 2. It runs around the western side of the Bedford Basin. The highway starts at the Windsor Street intersection on the Halifax Peninsula and passes by the communities of Fairview, Rockingham, and Bedford, where it becomes part of Trunk 1 to Highway 101 . Historically the Bedford Highway was part of the route from Halifax to Windsor, but also formed the first stage of a journey to Truro, with Sackville's Twelve Mile House staging inn marking the start of the Truro road. The never-completed Annapolis Road also began on the Bedford Highway, at today's intersection with Kearney Lake Road, which is believed to partly follow the alignment of the early road.

MacKay Bridge
The A. Murray MacKay Bridge, known locally as "the new bridge", is a suspension bridge linking the Halifax Peninsula with Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and opened on July 10, 1970. It is one of two suspension bridges crossing Halifax Harbour. Its counterpart, the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge, was completed in 1955. The bridge carries on average 52,000 vehicle crossings per day, and is part of Nova Scotia Highway 111.

The Chickenburger
The Chickenburger is a Bedford Highway roadside landmark located in Bedford, Nova Scotia that is reputed to be the oldest drive-in diner in Canada. History In 1930, Salter Innes founded the ''Bedford Sunnyside'' canteen along the Bedford Highway. He hired Bernice Simpson to work the counter. She later married his son Jack, and they bought property across the road to start their own restaurant. Originally established as the ''Shadyside'' take-out counter by Jack Innes and Bernice Simpson Innes, ''The Chickenburger Lady'', in 1939. It became ''Chickenburger'' after Bedford Shadyside burned down and was rebuilt in 1940. In 1952, due to road realignment, the restaurant was moved back, so it developed into a full-fledged restaurant, and still maintains its 1950s styling. In 1986, the dining area was expanded, using material from ''Sunnyside''. Mickey MacDonald bought the restaurant from the Innes family in 2007. ''The Micco Group of Companies'' bought the restaurant from the Mac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Old Annapolis Road, Nova Scotia
The Old Annapolis Road was a planned direct route between Halifax (former city), Halifax and Annapolis Royal, the current and former capitals of Nova Scotia, in Eastern Canada.

Staging Inn
The coaching inn (also coaching house or staging inn) was a vital part of Europe's inland transport infrastructure until the development of the railway, providing a resting point (layover) for people and horses. The inn served the needs of travellers, for food, drink, and rest. The attached stables, staffed by hostlers, cared for the horses, including changing a tired team for a fresh one. Coaching inns were used by private travellers in their coaches, the public riding stagecoaches between one town and another, and (in England at least) the mail coach. Just as with roadhouses in other countries, although many survive, and some still offer overnight accommodation, in general coaching inns have lost their original function and now operate as ordinary pubs. Coaching inns stabled teams of horses for stagecoaches and mail coaches and replaced tired teams with fresh teams. In America, stage stations performed these functions. Traditionally English coaching inns were seven miles apar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
