Large two storey wooden house in Albert County, c.1950. Photo from Library and Archives New Brunswick P93-AL-81
This photo came from Archives New Brunswick showing a prominent Widow’s Watch on the roof of this house. The widow’s watch was aptly named, as although the sea brought wealth to the county, it was also unforgiving with many a life lost. These watches can be seen all around the county on houses close to the water and you could see for miles down the river from them.
