Terra Nova Sulphite Co. Mill in Glovertown, NL.
For a solo trip across the province to attend a friend’s wedding, I opted to see if I could find a short detour along the way to an abandoned settlement for a potential photo opportunity. For a while now, the posts of Atlas Obscura, Narcity, Hidden Newfoundland and April Jay Photography have piqued my interest in seeking out some of these destinations. Ghost towns have always been a curiosity to me, but I’ve never pursued them despite quite a number of them existing in my own province.
I managed to spend about 45 mins or so wandering the site, which was easy enough to find thanks to the wonderful article on Hidden Newfoundland.
You would expect something that’s been abandoned for so long to be a pile of rubble, but in fact it’s quite a sound structure. The bones still stand, their surfaces renewed over the years with fresh graffiti.
A quiet, contemplative place.
