Do you ever walk or drive around the top of  Citadel  Hill? I don’t either. Maybe every few years we will take up a visitor so they can understand the lay of the land but we don’t spontaneously say “lets go up there and look at the view.”  However, over the years I have taken a few photos from the hill and I’ve gathered them together for you.  Spoiler alert : over my lifetime the view has changed a lot.

My earliest photo was taken in the later 1960s. The tower of the 1936 Dominion Building  dominates the skyline and even the steeple of St Paul’s is a player. It was erected in 1749, the year Halifax was founded. Doesn’t it all look like another era?
