Cannon Knitting Mill

Cannon Knitting Mill

This building is said to have been built in about 1860 and operated as a knitting mill for many years. Rumor has it that it has been sold to a developer who will turn it into condos. If so, it would have a lot of pluses, close to the city center, a park out behind and solid construction. On the other hand the neighborhood is a bit rough.

The Grand River at Cambridge

The Grand River at Cambridge

I’ve seen images of Cambridge University in the U.K. and its old stately buildings would be a wonderful place to visit and photograph. Our nearby city of Cambridge here in Canada doesn’t have that kind of history but it has some lovely views especially along the Grand River.
