An iron-and-woodworker by trade, Harmer had driven by the building with white front doors and an emerald steeple countless times while growing up in the nearby town of Drumbo. He was visiting a friend in BC when the church went on the market, so he enlisted his partner, Lynn Perreault, who lived nearby, to scope out

Bomb Shelter Discovered During Basement Renovation In Bristol Home

When a construction and property company were renovating a basement in a client’s Bristol-based home, they stumbled across a piece of history.

Berkeley Place was working on a basement duplex apartment in Clifton when handwriting was found on one of the walls. The notes were recordings of WWII air raids in Bristol, which was a target for bombing due to the presence of Bristol Harbor and The Bristol Airplane Company.
