1.0 INTRODUCTION

AECOM Canada Ltd, formerly TSH Associates, retained Unterman McPhail Associates,

Heritage Management Resource Consultants in 2008 to undertake a desktop review of the

built heritage and cultural heritage landscape of the study area for the Alma

Street/Second Street bridge alignment as part of the Environmental Study Report (ESR)

for the Second Trent River Crossing—Campbellford, County of Northumberland,

Municipality of Trent Hills. As part of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

process, the ESR will identify and report on alternatives for a second crossing of the

Trent River for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. This report was completed and submitted

in April 2008.

Subsequent to the desktop study, Unterman McPhail Associates were requested to

complete a field survey in relation to built heritage and cultural heritage landscapes for

the preferred Alma/Second Street Alternative Trent River Bridge Crossing to confirm and

augment the original desktop existing conditions report. This survey work was conducted

on October 2, 2008.

In December 2009 Unterman McPhail Associates were requested to complete a field

survey of twelve (12) proposed bridge alternatives for the Trent River Bridge Crossing

within the larger study area of the 2008 desktop review. The survey of other bridge

crossing alternatives was completed in January 2009. This cultural heritage resource

assessment report is provided to AECOM Canada Ltd. as a summary of the potential

impacts to cultural heritage landscapes and built heritage resources for the twelve (12)

proposed bridge alternatives for the Trent River Bridge Crossing. The assessment of the

impacts is based upon mapping provided by AECOM Canada Ltd. This information will

be used by AECOM Canada Ltd. to assist in the determination of the preferred alternative

for the Trent River Bridge Crossing.

1.1 Purpose of Report

The principal objectives of this cultural heritage resource assessment report are:

• to prepare an historical summary of the Euro-Canadian settlement history and

development of the study area;

• to conduct a windshield survey to identify built heritage resources and cultural

heritage landscapes found along the selected Trent River bridge crossing alternatives;

• to identify sensitivities for change due to the undertaking;

• to review the potential impacts to built heritage resources and cultural heritage

landscapes; and,

• to make general mitigation recommendations for built heritage resources and cultural

heritage landscapes regarding the proposed endeavor.

2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT & CULTURAL HERITAGE

RESOURCES

The need for the identification, evaluation, management and conservation of Ontario's

heritage is acknowledged as an essential component of environmental assessment and

municipal planning in Ontario.

This analysis of cultural heritage resources in the study area addresses those above-

ground, person-made heritage resources over 40 years old. The application of this rolling

forty year principle is an accepted federal and provincial practice for the preliminary

identification of cultural heritage resources that may be of heritage value. Its application

does not imply however that all built heritage resources or cultural heritage landscapes

that are over forty years old are worthy of the same levels of protection or preservation.

2.1 Environmental Assessment Act (EAA)

Environmental Assessment or EA is a decision-making process used to promote good

environmental planning by assessing the potential effects and benefits of certain activities

on the environment. In Ontario, this process is defined and finds its authority in the

Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). The purpose of the EAA is to provide for the

protection, conservation, and wise management of Ontario's environment.





The analysis throughout the study process addresses that part of the Environmental

Assessment Act, subsection 1(c), which defines “environment” to include:

“...cultural conditions that influence the life of humans or a community”;

as well as,

“any building, structure, machine or other device or thing made by humans”.

New bridges and associated construction activities may potentially affect cultural heritage

resources in a number of ways. The effects may include displacement through removal or

demolition and/or disruption by the introduction of physical, visual, audible or

atmospheric elements that are not in keeping with the character of the cultural heritage

resources and, or their setting.

2.1.1 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA)

The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) outlines a procedure whereby

municipalities can comply with the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act.

The latest version was approved in October 2000 and amended in 2007. It identifies

potential positive and negative effects of projects such as road improvements, facility

expansions or to facilitate a new service. The process includes an extensive evaluation of

impacts on the natural and social environment. The Municipal Class EA applies to

municipal infrastructure projects including roads, water and wastewater projects. Since

projects undertaken by municipalities can vary in their environmental impact, such

projects are classified in terms of schedules. Schedule A generally includes normal or

emergency operational and maintenance activities where the environmental effects of

these activities are usually minimal, and therefore these projects are pre-approved.

Schedule B generally includes improvements and minor expansions to existing facilities

where there is the potential for some adverse environmental impacts and therefore, the

municipality is required to proceed through a screening process including consultation

with those who may be affected and Schedule C generally includes the construction of

new facilities and major expansions to existing facilities, and these projects proceed

through a five phased environmental assessment planning process.

2.2 Ontario Heritage Act (OHA)

The Ontario Heritage Act gives the Ontario Ministry of Culture (MCL) the responsibility

for the conservation, protection and preservation of Ontario’s culture heritage resources.

Section 2 of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) charges the Minister with the responsibility

to,

“...determine policies, priorities and programs for the conservation, protection and

preservation of the heritage of Ontario.”

The Ministry of Culture describes heritage buildings and structures, cultural heritage

landscapes and archaeological resources as cultural heritage resources. Since cultural





heritage resources may be impacted adversely by both public and private land

development, it is incumbent upon planning and approval authorities to consider heritage

resources when making planning decisions.

Heritage attributes, in relation to a property, are defined in the OHA as the attributes of

the property that cause it to have cultural heritage value or interest. Part IV of the OHA

enables municipalities to list, and to designate by by-law properties of cultural value or

interest after consultation with its municipal advisory committee, if one is appointed.

Under OHA subsection 27 (1), the municipal clerk is required to keep a current register of

properties of cultural heritage value or interest located in their municipality. The

municipal register must include all properties designated under Part IV of the OHA by the

municipality or by the Minister of Culture. Municipal designation of heritage resources

under Part IV the OHA publicly recognizes and promotes awareness of heritage

properties, provides a process for ensuring that changes to a heritage property are

appropriately managed and that these changes respect the property’s heritage value. This

includes protection from demolition. Once a property has been designated and notice has

been given to the Ontario Heritage Trust, the property is then listed on the provincial

register of heritage properties.

The alteration process under the OHA section 33 helps to ensure the heritage attributes of

a designated property, and therefore its heritage value, are conserved. If an owner of a

designated property wishes to make alterations to the property that affects the property’s

heritage attributes, the owner must obtain written consent from the council. This applies

not only to the alteration of the buildings or structures but also to alterations of other

aspects of the designated property, such as landscape features or natural features, which

have been identified as heritage attributes.

The OHA subsection 27 (1.2) also allows a property that is not designated, but considered

to be of cultural heritage interest or value by the municipal council, to be placed on the

register. This is commonly referred to as “listing”. In many cases, listed (non-designated

properties) are candidates for designation protection under OHA section 29. Once a

property is listed under the OHA, any application to demolish the building on a listed

property is delayed fro 60 days under OHA 27(3).

Under Part V of the OHA the council of a municipality may undertake a study of any area

of the municipality for the purpose of designating one or more heritage conservation

districts. If the council of a municipality has established a municipal heritage committee

under OHA section 28, the council shall consult with the committee with respect to the

study.

2.3 Ministry of Culture

The Ministry of Culture (MCL) guidelines assist in the assessment of cultural heritage

resources as part of an environmental assessment. They are, Guideline for Preparing the





Cultural Heritage Resource Component of Environmental Assessments (October 1992),

and, Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental Assessments

(1980). The Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental

Assessments state:

“When speaking of man-made heritage we are concerned with works of man and

the effects of his activities in the environment rather than with moveable human

artifacts or those environments that are natural and completely undisturbed by

man.”

The guidelines state one may distinguish broadly between two basic ways of visually

experiencing cultural heritage resources in the environment, that is, as cultural heritage

landscapes and as built heritage. Cultural heritage landscapes are a geographical area

perceived as a collection of individual person-made built heritage resources set into a

whole such as historical settlements, farm complexes, waterscapes, roadscapes, railways,

etc. They emphasize the interrelationship of people and the natural environment and

convey information about the processes and activities that have shaped a community.

Cultural heritage landscapes may be organically evolved landscapes as opposed to

designed landscapes. Some are ‘continuing landscapes’, which maintain the historic use

and continue to evolve, while others are ‘relict landscapes’ where the evolutionary

process has come to an end but important landscape or built heritage resources from its

historic use are still visible. Built heritage resources comprise individual, person-made or

modified, parts of a cultural heritage landscape such as buildings or structures of various

types including, but not limited to, cemeteries, planting and landscaping structures, etc.

The guidelines also describe the attributes necessary for the identification and evaluation

of any discrete aggregation of person-made features or cultural heritage landscapes and

the attributes necessary for the identification and evaluation of built heritage resources.

3.0 ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

3.1 Introduction

For the identification of built heritage and cultural heritage landscapes, Unterman

McPhail Associates undertook the following desktop activities tasks:

o A review of the major historical themes and activities of the study area through

the analysis of local history and topographical and historic mapping;

o the identification of existing built heritage resources and cultural heritage

landscapes within the study area through major historical themes and activities

and historic mapping;

o review of previous background EA reports regarding cultural heritage resources;

and,

o review of the report Stage One Archaeological Assessment of Bridge Crossings

and Road Network Options, Town of Campbellford, Northumberland County,





Ontario prepared by Archaeological Services Inc. (ASI) based upon a 1995

windshield survey. This report noted the Campbellford Baptist Church on the

west side of the river at 166 Grand Road, a number of 19th century, brick

residences located on both sides of the river, the Spite House at 17 Second Street,

and the Orange Hall on the west side of the Trent River at 120 Grand Road. The

ASI report described the cultural landscape associated with the former CNR

crossing as substantially altered.

In October 2008 Unterman McPhail Associates completed a field survey of the preferred

Alma Street/Second Street bridge alternative. In January 2009 a windshield survey of the

other alternative bridge crossings was completed.

3.2 Public Consultation and Recognition

The Coordinator of Human Resources and Special Projects, Municipality of Municipality

of Trent Hills provided a list of designated heritage properties within the municipality.

Several properties located within or adjacent the Trent River Bridge Crossing alternatives

were identified in Campbellford as being municipally designated under the Ontario

Heritage Act (OHA). They include:

o 113 Front Street North, Heritage Centre;

o 37 Saskatoon Avenue;

o 58 Saskatoon Avenue, Fire Hall;

o 17 Second Street, Spite House;

o 95 Doxsee Street; and,

o Cenotaph, Park on Trent River, Queen Street.

There are no known municipal or provincial conservation easement properties,

cemeteries within or adjacent the Trent River Bridge Crossing alternatives.

An Ontario Heritage Trust commemorative plaque for the Founders of Campbellford is

located in the public park on Queen Street beside the Trent River. The Trent–Severn

Waterway, which is a recognized as a national historic site, runs through the study area. It

is under the federal jurisdiction of the Parks Canada.

An interpretive plaque for the Trent-Severn and a commemorative plaque for History of

Trent Valley Woollen and Campbellford Cloth Company are located in the Old Mill Park

at Bridge Street.





4.0 HISTORICAL SUMMARY

4.1 Seymour Township

The earliest settler in Seymour Township is reputed to have been Barnabas Bronson

c1806. William Brown surveyed the township for the first time in 1819. Samuel S.

Wilmot, D.L.S. resurveyed the township 1832-33. The township was laid out with

fourteen concession roads running west to east and sideroads running north to south.

Early settlement occurred in the 1820s and early 1830s. Former military officers Lieut-

Col. Robert Campbell and Major David Campbell received 2200 acres of land in

Seymour Township in 1831, and then purchased another 1000 acres of land. Major David

Campbell was appointed Crown Land Commissioner for Seymour Township (1832-

1839) and through his position encouraged many retired British military men to settle in

the township with their families. Settlers generally arrived in the township overland from

Cobourg on Lake Ontario, crossing by ferry at Percy Landing. Later a ferry was

established from Rice Lake to Healey Falls.

The land was also developed for agriculture in the 19th

century from the time of

settlement onwards. Grist mills were built on the west side of the Trent River at Ranney

Falls and Meyersburg to grind the grain of the early settlers. There were no roads with the

exception of a trail cleared by the government along the Trent River from Government

Landing near Percy Boom to Shea’ Bay. New settlers acquired supplies and lodging at

the Government landing before traveling to their land. Provisions were carried in by

sleigh in the winter and by water in the summer. Eventually there were stagecoach runs

between Campbellford and other communities such as Brighton, Havelock and Hastings

and beyond.

A small settlement called the ”The Patch’ grew up at Ranney Falls c1834. A post office

was opened, a small of schoolhouse and a small Anglican congregation (1835) were

established. To the south the small hamlet of Meyersburg was established at the site of A.

H. Meyer’s sawmill and gristmill. The community also became a coach stop or mail and

passengers.1 Several businesses were destroyed in 1870 including the R. C. Wilkins

mills.2 To the north at the original river ford, which was located north of the present

bridge crossing, businesses and commercial enterprises congregated on both sides of the

Trent River. Emilyville on the west and the original town on the east joined to become

Campbellford in the mid 1840s.

Smith’s Gazetteer (1846) notes Seymour Township had a mixture of pine and hardwood

timber with two gristmills and six saw mills in operation. The logging industry was

developed along the Trent River Valley to extract large red and white pine for exportation

to Britain in the early 19th

century, and was finished by the early 1850s. Several saw mills

have been erected on the Trent and Crowe rivers since the late 1840s.3 The square timber

trade was replaced by the lumber industry, which harvested the remaining timber and

smaller trees. The Census Return (1851) for Seymour Township noted that the men on

the farms were away working for the lumber companies. The farmers grew wheat,

although it had become more expensive to do so. The township was favoured by

lumbermen for its timber. By 1851 the best timber had already been taken.

In support of the lumber industry both the federal government and private interests

funded the construction of wooden dams with log sluices and timber sluices along the

Trent and Crowe rivers. A dam was built at Healy Falls as an improvement under the Act

to Improve the Navigation of the Inland Waters of the Newcastle District (1836).4 Timber

slides were built on the Crowe and Trent rivers in the mid 1840s with one at Ranney

Falls. The upper slide at Ranney Falls was 1,102 feet long and the lower one was 390 feet

long. After the government decided to divest itself of the locks, dams, slides, roads and

water powers in the Newcastle District in 1850, lumberman took over ownership of a

number of the slides including the one at Ranney Falls in the 1850s, operating the until it

was destroyed in 1870 by a severe flood.5

The first Seymour Township council meeting was held on January 21, 1850, with a

township hall built in Campbellford in 1855. Over the years it served as a jail,

schoolhouse, market, community centre and council chambers for the township.6 The

township hall was moved to the second floor Ferris Building on the southwest corner of

Bridge and Front Streets in 1894. The arrival of the railways in the latter part of the 19th

century greatly increased access to and promoted commerce in the township and

Campbellford.

Although plans for the Trent-Severn Canal were started in the 19th

century, the canal

construction on the Campbellford section did not begin until 1910. Initially in the 19th

century the canal was conceived as a transportation project. By 1907 when the federal

government approved the construction of the Trent Canal it had become more of a matter

of controlling the electric power along the waterway. On the Trent River, Campbellford

already owned water privileges at Crowe Bay and a small power plant at the old

government dam, while the operators of the Northumberland Paper and Power Electric

Company wanted to develop sites at Ranney Falls, while the Seymour Power and Electric

Company desired a site at the falls above the town.

After much discussion, the canal route selected included a high dam at Ranney Falls, the

construction of retaining walls along the Trent River through Campbellford, and a route

behind the Northumberland Paper and Electric Company to Locks 11 and 12. As a result

Society, 2000) 1-4. 4 Ibid, 33.

of this route selection five Campbellford mills lost their power source, and the Dickinson

dam at Campbellford was removed. The hydro-electric stations were developed at

Ranney Falls and Hague’s Reach on the Trent River in the early 20th century.

Other local improvements in the 20th

century around Campbellford included the creation

of Provincial Highway 30 from Brighton to Havelock in 1930, with the section from

Meyersburg to Campbellford paved prior to 1934. The West River Road was paved

northward to Healey Falls in 1961 and then extended to Highway 7. The Province of

Ontario acquired land for the Ferris Provincial Park, located north of Campbellford on the

east side of the Trent River in the latter part of the 20th

century. The Lower Trent

Conservation was formed in 1968. Subsequently the Seymour Conservation Area on the

west side of the Trent River, south of Campbellford, was opened.

4.1.1 Railway Development

The Grand Junction Railway acquired a charter to build a railway line from Belleville to

Peterborough in the early 1870s, with the objective of connecting with the Midland Line

and the grain route from Western Canada. The line arrived in Campbellford in 1878 and

was extended to Peterborough in 1880. The original line followed a long and circuitous

route through the village with numerous level crossings and a curved wooden-trestle

bridge spanning the river north of the present bridge. Eventually this line was taken over

by the Midland Railway, which became the Grand Trunk, and then the Canadian National

Railway.

A new southern route through Campbellford was opened in 1899 with a railway bridge

spanning the Trent River between Picnic Island off the east shore and Grand Road on the

west. The old line to the north was retained as a spur line to the Rathburn Mills. The

railway station was relocated to the northeast corner of Alma and Simpson Streets.7

When the Trent Canal was built it was proposed to replace the bridge span on the west

side with a bascule or lift bridge and to build a second lift bridge across the canal to

provide access to the industries on the island between the river and the canal. In the end

only the second bascule lift bridge to the island was built and it became known as the

“Low Black”.8 The Grand Trunk Railway then replaced the bridge over the waterway

with a new and stronger structure built in two phases by the Dominion Bridge Company

in 1917. The three spans over Saskatoon Avenue were finished first in 1917, and the final

eight spans over the river, canal and the west bank road were completed in 1918.9 This

railway line, as well as the Campbellford station, was closed in 1969. The bascule lift

bridge on the spur line to the island was torn down in 1972. The railway bridge on the

main line was removed in 1987.10

All that remains of the structures are piers in the Trent

River.

4.1.2 Trent-Severn Canal

The approval of the Act to Improve the Navigation of the Inland Waters of the Newcastle

District was passed in 1836 with funds allotted for the construction of a canal.

Construction of the canal started in the 1840s and then little was done until the late 19th

century. The Trent Valley Canal Association was formed in 1887 and survey work began

in 1895. With a new interest in hydro-electric power, and in the interest of transportation,

the Dominion Government authorized the construction of the Trent Canal in February

1907. Construction on Section #4 from just above Glen Ross to Campbellford began in

1910. There was some controversy over the fate of the Dickson Dam near the town

bridge that provided power to five local mills and the municipal water system.11

It was

decided to build retaining walls along the river through Campbellford, and a control dam

was built south of the 1897 railway bridge to control the water level.

In 1918, the first boat from Lake Ontario, reached Orillia. The final canal extended from

Trenton on the Bay of Quinte to Port Severn on Georgian Bay. Although the Trent-

Severn Waterway was conceived as a commercial venture to move wheat from the

prairies to Lake Ontario and Montreal, by the time it was completed, grain was being

moved other ways, and the Canal never developed into the commercial enterprise but as a

recreational waterway. The canal was designated as a nationally significant canal in 1929.

4.1.3 Hydro-electric Development

Ranney Falls Generating Station

The federal government leased the Ranney Falls site to the Seymour Power Company.

When the Provincial Government bought the Seymour Power Company on March 9,

1916, it acquired the rights to the site. Unit #1 of the generating station was put in service

on August 22, 1922, Unit #2 on September 22, 1922 and Unit #3 in 1926. The Hydro-

Electric Power Commission of Ontario acquired the station from the Quinte and Trent

Valley Power Company in 1937. Ownership was transferred to Ontario Power Generation

in April 1999.

As part of the Commission's "Central Ontario System", Ranney Falls helped to supply

power to about 25 municipalities in central Ontario, including Peterborough, Kingston,

Belleville, Oshawa, Lindsay, Trenton, Cobourg, Port Hope, Bowmanville, Picton,

Deseronto, Napanee and Whitby.12

Hague’s Reach Generating Station

The station is correctly known as "Haig's Reach", with the reach named for Thomas Haig

who farmed on Lot 8, Concession 3 of Seymour Township in 1878 on the east side of the

river at Lock 10 just below the powerhouse. Government surveyors probably changed the

name to "Hague" during the railway and canal construction era. Government authorities

and Ontario Power Generation only use “Hague”. The Hydro-Electric Power

Commission of Ontario built the generating station and opened Unit 1 at the station on

March 3, 1925, Unit 2 on March 6, 1925, and Unit 3 March 29, 1925. Ownership was

transferred to Ontario Power Generation in April 1999.13

4.2 Campbellford

Campbell’s Ford, named after Major David Campbell, was established where the Trent

River was the shallowest. A ferry service was established across the waterway and

operated until 1840. At that time a mill dam was built below the ford, and higher water

levels required the construction of a bridge just north of the dam The area on both sides

of the river in the vicinity of the bridge developed with industry, stores and hotels. Plans

for village streets and lots were laid for the east side out prior to 1846. The community of

Emilyville emerged on the west side of the river.

Major Campbell returned to Cobourg in 1852 and although he sold most of his property

on the east side of river in 1856, he forged a business relationship with Robert Cockburn

of Cobourg and Nesbitt Kirchoffer of Port Hope to develop the village emerging on Lot

10, Concession 6. Kirchoffer surveyed the east side of Campbellford into lots, roads and

streets and planned for a railway line. Subdivided lots on the roads paralleling the Trent

River were developed quickly for industrial, commercial and residential use. A

commercial core emerged on Bridge Street in the vicinity of the river crossing. On the

west side of the river in Emilyville, William Oglivie laid out the lots and streets on Lot 9,

Concession 6. He built a large stone residence on Bridge Street West c1860. Henry Roe

laid out the lots and streets on Lot 10 on the same west side.

The community grew quickly. The Seymour Township Hall, for many years the only

public building in the area, was built at 113 Front Street North in 1855. In the same year

the first wooden bridge over the Trent River was replaced by another wood bridge

structure. The Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio built a third bridge with

arches in iron in 1877. The bridge and a dam to its immediate south are shown on the

Map of Campbellford in the Illustrated Historical Atlas (1878). Two additional arches

were built in 1884.

Some of the more important and larger nineteenth century industries associated with the

development of the Campbellford community included a woolen mill operated by Samuel

13

Mirfield that became the Trent Valley Woollen Mill (1879), and then the Campbellford

Cloth Company (1921), formerly located in the Old Mill Park; the Cockburn/Charles

Smith Flour Mill (1850) built on Mill Street, now Saskatoon Avenue; and the Rathburn

Lumber Company (1886) on Front Street North.14

A spur line of the Grand Junction and

later Grand Trunk Railway connected the industry to the main line.

Campbellford was incorporated as a village in 1876, including the settlement of

Emilyville. The new village bought the Seymour Township Hall, and the two

municipalities continued to use the building for many years. The Illustrated Historical

Atlas (1878) notes Campbellford was well established with industry, churches, a town

hall and schoolhouse. Grand Street was known as River Street north to Canrobert, and

then George Street to Tice Street, now Bridge Street West, and Garry Street was a part of

the Seventh Concession Line. On the east side of the river, Doxsee Avenue South was

shown as Rear Street and Saskatoon Avenue as Mill Street. Caddy Street was a short

street extending west of Front Street North to the Trent River above Market Street. A

market square was located at the Rear Street and Market Street to the east of Front Street

North. The dam on the river was located immediately south of the bridge.

Local businessman Adam Dinwoodie built a residence at 17 Second Street, known as the

Spite House, in 1874 at the foot of Frank Street. Several other substantial residences were

built on town streets in the 1870s and 1880s including 62 (1875), 75 (1879), 85 (1870)

and 91 (1880) and 95 (1886) on Doxsee Avenue South.15

Local businessman Frederick

Dinwoodie was the original owner of the large brick residence at 95 Doxsee Street South.

By the late 1880s, several churches, a stone town hall, and a schoolhouse had been built

in the town including the Methodist Church on Queen Street in 1874, which was acquired

by the Baptist congregation in 1884. Local industry was greatly aided by the arrival of the

Grand Junction Railway in 1878. As the town continued to prosper in the latter part of the

19th

century, larger brick commercial blocks such as the Ferris Block were built on

Bridge Street and Front Street. The Trent Valley Woolen Mill and the Rathburn Lumber

Mill on Front Street North were the largest businesses in the community in the late 1890s

and early 1900s.

Campbellford’s major industries continued to operate into the early 20th century. The

Northumberland Paper and Electric Company built the Campbellford Pulp Mill near

Ranney Falls in 1911. It was destroyed by fire in 1932, and rebuilt, operating as the Gair

Mill until 1957, then passing through owners until demolished in 1971 for the Parkview

Estates development.16

The railway created an economic boom in the early 20th

century

as the town became a principal station along the line for exports. It had four passenger

train stops in a day between 1914 and 1918. The grain movement from the Lakehead

supported the railway through the town for many years (1920 to late 1950s).17

A new multi-span metal truss bridge was built over the river in 1904. It was converted to

a bascule bridge on the west end at a later date to accommodate boats.18

The United

Counties of Northumberland and Durham Road Commission built the Campbellford

Bridge, an arched high level structure, in 1968-69. County engineer was R. A. Edmunds

and consulting engineers were Totten, Sims, Hubicki & Associates and general

contractors, W. D. Laflamme, Mimico, Ontario.19

During construction a pedestrian bridge

was erected and vehicles were required to cross further south on Grand Road over the

“Low Black” railway bridge. A wooden platform replaced the railway ties.20

A town hall as built on Front Street South at River Street in 1935. The Seymour

Township Hall on Front Street North moved to the Colin Collins Block on the same street

in 1966, and, in 1978, to 37 Saskatoon Avenue before relocating to a new building on

Front Street South.21

The Campbellford Cloth Company was demolished in 1979 and the

Old Mill Park was developed on the site with a commemorative plaque to the industry.

The Cockburn/Charles Smith Flour Mill on Saskatoon Avenue was demolished in 1996.

5.0 IDENTIFICATION OF BUILT HERITAGE & CULTURAL HERITAGE

LANDSCAPES

5.1 Introduction

For the purposes of built heritage and cultural heritage landscape identification, this

section provides a brief description of the existing environment, the principal built

heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes potentially affected by the proposed

Trent River bridge crossing at Campbellford in the Town of Trent Hills.

5.2 Description of the Existing Environment

Campbellford is located in a drumlinized till plain known as the Peterborough Drumlin

Field. The Trent River crosses the Canadian Shield with its headwaters in an area of

Precambrian bedrock and with the lower course on the Paleozoic limestones. It drains

into the Bay of Quinte. From Rice Lake the Trent River flows northeastward for a few

kilometres before turning eastward across a limestone plain to Healey Falls. From there it

tumbles into another limestone valley and turns at a right angle to flow southward. The

Crowe River enters the Trent River in this section. Due to its topography and flow the

Trent River was developed for hydro-electric power.

5.2.1 Campbellford Historical Core

Campbellford is located in the Municipality of Trent Hills, Northumberland County on

the Trent River, which forms part of the Trent-Severn Waterway, a national historical

site. The crossing at Bridge Street, which connects the east and west sections of the town,

is the only structure to span the Trent River within the community. The bridge also acts

as a link for traffic between the larger centres of Peterborough and the City of Belleville

on County Road No. 30 and County Road No. 8, which runs through Campbellford.

Within Campbellford, County Road 30 is known as Grand Road. County Road No. 8

becomes Bridge Street and intersects with Grand Road on the west side of the Trent

River.

The Trent River divides the historical core of the town into the east and west sides. A

mixture of 19th and 20th century buildings including, but not limited to, residences,

institutional, religious and commercial buildings, characterizes it. Bridge Street divides

the town east to west with the historical commercial area located along its length as well

as Front Street on the east and Grand Road/Queen Street on the west side. A high level

arch bridge, constructed in 1968-69, joins the two sides.

On the west side of the Trent River, Grand Road runs north to south along the river banks

to Bridge Street where is becomes Queen Street and continues northward following the

river. The intersection of Alma Street and Grand Road has a large parking lot on the

southwest corner, a c1900 brick residence at 120 Grand Road on the northwest corner

and park on the east side of Grand Road along the river. From Alma Street to Canrobert

Street, both sides of Grand Road are characterized by a streetscape of 19th

and 20th

century residences. At Canrobert Street a senior’s community centre and a tourism

information centre are located on the east side of Grand Road. Old Mill Park, on the site

of the former Campbellford Cloth Factory, stretches from just north of Canrobert Street

to the south side of Bridge Street on the east side. A modern gazebo is situated in the park

near the bridge as well as an interpretation plaque for the Trent-Severn Waterway.

Residential streets run westward from Grand Road and Queen Streets on an angle.

An older commercial section is located at the intersection of Grand Road/Queen Street

and Bridge Street. It continues north for a short distance along Queen Street, before

changing to residential use on the west side. A public park located on the east side of

Queen Street, north of Bridge Street to Garry Street, contains a Cenotaph, which is

municipally designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, and a commemorative plaque

relating to the founding of Campbellford. At the north end of the park sited on the Trent

River is the former Baptist Church, built in 1874, now in commercial use. A parking lot

is located on the north side of the former church building. A c1885 stone residence is

located on the southwest corner of Garry Street and Queen Street and a late 19th century

brick residence and early 1900s brick residence sit on the northwest corner of the

intersection.





To the north at the intersection of Church Street and Queen Street, the Water’s Edge Inn

is located on the east side on Queen Street on the river bank. It comprises an older

residence converted to commercial use on the top of the river bank and a separate

building with of accommodation along the edge of the river. Later 19th

century brick

residences are situated on the southwest and northwest corners of the intersection.

On the east side of the Trent River, Front Street North follows the river north of Bridge

Street East. At Market Street it begins to curve northeasterly. At this point the west side

of Front Street North is residential in character with an attractive streetscape of late 19th

and early 20th

century residences. A small gap in the streetscape comprising vacant land

between 106 and 110, is the right-of-way for Caddy Street. There is a clear view of the

west bank from the right-of-way. The southeast side of Front Street North at Market

Street is the site of a grocery store and parking lot, while a former residence at 97 Front

Street North on the northeast corner was converted to an insurance office. North of

Market Street, both sides of Front Street North to Doxsee Avenue North are generally

residential. The Campbellford/ Seymour Township Heritage Centre is located at 113

Front Street North.

South of Bridge Street East, Front Street South runs southeast on a diagonal to Second

Street, the southernmost east-west street of Campbellford on the east side of the river.

River Street runs east to west, south of Bridge Street East. Saskatoon Avenue branches

off from Front Street South at River Street and follows the river southward to Second

Street and then out of the core area, past Picnic Park and Kennedy Park, to Trent Drive.

The former municipal office is located on Front Street South at the convergence of Frank

Street and Saskatoon Street at River Street. The historic Fire Hall, which is municipally

designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, is located at 58 Saskatoon Avenue. A c1875

stone residence at 37 Saskatoon Avenue is municipally designated under the Ontario

Heritage Act. It is the last remnant of an historic Mill Block that once stood in this

location. It also served as the township hall for a few years. Frank Street is a residential

street that ends at Second Street. Saskatoon Avenue has a streetscape of mainly 20th

century residences from just north of Second Street south to Picnic Island Park.

Frank Street, Front Street South and Doxsee Avenue South to the south of River Street

consist of mixed 19th and 20

th century residential streetscapes. All three streets terminate

at Second Street. Doxsee Street South has a number of larger 19th

century brick homes.

Second Street forms a residential streetscape with the intersections at Frank Street, Front

Street South and Doxsee Avenue South characterized by the side yards of corner lots

facing onto the intersecting streets.

There are a number of important viewsheds from both the west and east banks of the

Trent River. Approaching Campbellford along Grand Road on the west side there is an

open view northeast across open parkland to the river and the former railway bridge piers

located in the river, as well as a view to the commercial and residential properties on the

east bank and the present Campbellford Bridge. This view is also found in the park and





along the river trail. From Old Mill Park and the Campbellford Bridge there are several

view points up and down the Trent River and across to the east bank. The tower of the

Fire Hall at 58 Saskatoon Avenue on the east bank is clearly visible from Old Mill Park.

Another important viewshed along the Trent River to the Campbellford Bridge and its

environs is southward from Garry Street at Queen Street across the park to the cenotaph

and then to the existing bridge and the historical area of Campbellford on the east bank.

The late 19th and early 20

th century commercial blocks located at the intersection of

Grand Road and Bridge Street West, namely 15-25 Bridge Street West and 18 Bridge

Street West, have landmark qualities as corner buildings on an important intersection in

Campbellford and as entrance/exit markers or gateways to the bridge and town. The

commercial block at 4-12 Bridge Street West has landmark qualities due to its unusual

siting on the northwest corner of the bridge and as viewed from the east bank. The

commercial buildings at 2 Front Street North and 4-8 Front Street South have landmark

qualities as large corner buildings anchoring the commercial streetscape and marking the

entrance/exit function at the bridge.

5.2.2 Outside Campbellford Historical Core

Highway 30 on the west side of the Trent River is characterized by scattered residences

and farms around Meyers Island Road. The Meyers Island Road, a local gravel road with

tree lines, provides access to Meyers Island. It becomes a one lane bridge when crossing

the Trent River to Meyers Island. Seasonal and year round residences, mostly later 20th

century, line the east side of the island along the Trent Canal. To the north of Meyers

Island Road on the east side of County Road 30 is the Seymour Conservation Area of the

Lower Trent Conservation Authority, a natural area with recreational trails. The 5th Line

is an opened right-of-way on the east side of County Road 30. The Campbellford

Business Park is located north of the conservation area. Industrial Drive leads to a road

that provides access to the Ontario Power Generation station at Hague’s Reach.

On the east side of the Trent River, Haig’s Reach Road runs along the banks of the Trent

Canal south of 4th

Line. 20th century seasonal cottages and permanent residences

characterize the road. Lock 10 at Hague’s Reach, Trent-Severn Waterway, is accessed

from this road. Bradley Road runs westerly from County Road 8 to James Road, which is

part of the right-of-way for the 3rd

Line. James Road is not a through road to Haig’s

Reach Road. Between the 3rd

and 4th Lines and Haig’s Reach Road and County Road 8

the rural landscape is characterized agricultural land, tree lots and distinctive field

patterns. A section of 4th

Line, a two lane rural gravel road, runs west from County Road

8 to Haig’s Reach Road and then to the Trent River where it ends. At the end of the road

at the Trent Canal there is a view of Hague’s Reach Generating Station across the

waterway. There is a 19th century residence, farm complex and abandoned house on 4

th

Line east of Haig’s Reach Road and a couple of modern residences to the west. North of

the 4th

line the landscape is characterized by agricultural field patterns and some woodlots

to the southern boundary of Ferris Provincial Park, Ferris Provincial Park, which is





accessed County Road 8, includes former agricultural land with remnants of overgrown

stone fences and cleared meadows.

5.3 Description of Identified Built Heritage Resources and Cultural Heritage

Landscapes

Unterman McPhail Associates undertook windshield surveys of the proposed bridge

alternatives in October 2008 and January 2009. This identification of built heritage

resources and cultural heritage landscapes addressed the requirement to identify all

above-ground, person-made heritage resources recognized as being over 40 years of age

or older, and those recognized by the municipality as being of heritage value. It is

acknowledged that the identified built heritage and cultural heritage landscapes within the

study area are of varying degrees of heritage interest or value. Although the exterior of a

built heritage resource may be altered, it still contributes to the character and context of

the streetscape.

The core area of the community of Campbellford has been identified as an historical

settlement and therefore considered to be a stand-alone cultural heritage landscape

(CHL). It is considered to be a “continuing landscape” in that it has maintained its

historical use while evolving. The core area comprises other smaller cultural heritage

landscapes within it such as streetscapes. The streetscapes comprise individual built

heritage buildings and structures of forty years of age and older. Although the Town of

Trent Hills has designated some properties within Campbellford under Part IV the

Ontario Heritage Act, it does not include “listed” buildings of heritage interest or value

on a municipal heritage register.

Within or adjacent to the twelve (12) proposed bridge alternatives for the Trent River

Bridge Crossing there are six (6) properties designated under the Ontario Heritage Act

(OHA). They are noted in Tables 1 to 12.

There are numerous individual built heritage resources, worthy of consideration for

“listing” on a municipal heritage register, within and adjacent to the proposed bridge

crossing alignments. They contribute to the character of the historical core area, town

streetscapes and river views.

Survey work included mapping and a photograph of those buildings within the alignment

as well as adjacent buildings of heritage interest for the twelve (12) proposed bridge

alternatives for the Trent River Bridge Crossing (Figure 2 and 3). As part of the

identification of cultural heritage landscapes located in the historical core of

Campbellford, i.e., streetscapes, photographs of representative buildings are included in

Tables 5 to 12 to provide a sense of place. Therefore, all built heritage resources

associated with the streetscapes are not depicted in the Tables. Streetscapes adjacent to

the proposed bridge alternatives were also noted because there is potential for change to

streetscapes and traffic patterns associated with a new bridge structure. Since the

likelihood of improvements to existing rural roads associated with the proposed bridge





alternatives outside of Campbellford is considered to be high, these roadscapes have been

noted. Likewise. All built heritage resources noted as being displaced by AECOM

Canada Ltd. due to a proposed bridge alternative for the Trent River Bridge Crossing

were photographed. Twentieth century topographical maps of Campbellford and area

were consulted and are contained in Appendix A.

Tables 1 to 12 list those built heritage and cultural heritage landscapes of forty years and

older identified as being of some local heritage value or interest during the windshield

surveys of the study area. Tables 1 to 4 contain the results of the built heritage resource

and cultural heritage landscape survey for the four (4) proposed bridge alternatives for

the Trent River Bridge Crossing outside the historical core of Campbellford, namely

Meyers Island Road/James Road/Bradley Road, 4th

Line and 5th

Line. Tables 1 to 4 are

arranged generally from west to east.

Tables 5 to12 contain the results of the built heritage resource and cultural heritage

landscape survey for the eight (8) proposed Bridge Alternatives for the Trent River

Bridge Crossing within the historical core of Campbellford, namely, Alma Street/Doxsee

Avenue South, Alma Street/Second Street, Canrobert Street, Bridge Street, Garry

Street/Market Street and Church Street/Market Street. Tables 5 to 12 are arranged

generally by municipal street number general, south to north and west to east.

All photographs in the following Tables were taken by Unterman McPhail Associates

unless otherwise noted.

6.0 POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF UNDERTAKING ON CULTURAL

HERITAGE RESOURCES

This section provides a preliminary assessment of the potential adverse effects of the

proposed undertaking based upon mapping provided by AECOM Canada Ltd. (Figures 2

and 3). The conservation of cultural heritage resources in planning is considered to be a

matter of public interest.

6.1 Description of Potential Impacts

Generally infrastructure improvements such as road and intersection improvements have

the potential to adversely affect cultural heritage landscapes and built heritage resources

by displacement and/or disruption effects during, as well as after construction. Built

heritage resources and/or cultural heritage landscapes may experience displacement, i.e.,

removal or demolition, if they are located within the rights-of-way of the undertaking.

There may also be potential for disruption, or indirect impacts, to cultural heritage

resources by the introduction of physical, visual, audible or atmospheric elements to the

existing environment that are not in keeping with their character and/or setting.

6.2 Assessment of Potential Impacts

This built heritage resource and cultural heritage landscape assessment comprises the

evaluation of the alternatives for the proposed Bridge Alternatives for the Trent River

Bridge Crossing in the Town of Trent Hills.

The proposed new bridge crossing of the Trent River will change the character and

setting of the historic core of the town of Campbellford and the Trent River, both

identified cultural heritage landscapes. The undertaking has the potential to displace, and

to disrupt identified cultural heritage landscapes and built heritage resources of heritage

value and significance.

6.2.1 Disruption Impacts

The core area of the historical town of Campbellford, which is an identified cultural

heritage landscape, will be affected by the construction of a new bridge crossing of the

Trent River. Within this larger landscape there are more discrete cultural heritage

landscapes such as streetscapes, waterscapes, etc. Individual built heritage resources are

elements of the landscapes as well as stand-alone resources of cultural heritage value.

There is potential for the character of the existing setting of cultural heritage landscapes

and built heritage resources to be disrupted in varying degrees by the construction of a

new bridge within the historical core of Campbellford. Low to medium disruption effects

are principally due to changes to the setting and character of cultural heritage landscapes

without the loss of property and resources and possibly minimal property acquisition.

High disruption impacts are a result of changes to the setting and character of cultural





heritage landscapes and built heritage resources as a result of the loss of cultural heritage

resources, i.e., the removal or displacement. This high disruption effect may occur due to

significant property acquisitions, encroachment, road closure, improvements to local

roads associated with the new bridge crossing, the isolation of a cultural heritage resource

from its existing setting, and visual disruption due to the introduction of a new physical

element into the existing environment such as a bridge structure, embankments and new

roadways.

The crossing of the Trent River/Trent Severn Waterway is a common cultural heritage

resource for all twelve (12) proposed bridge alternatives. Outside of the historical core of

Campbellford the introduction of a new bridge structure is considered to be a medium

disruption impact, while within the historic core it is considered to be a high visual

disruption impact.

The CHL and BHR numbers listed below refer to the site numbers contained in Tables 1

to 12.

6.3 Impact Assessment

The cultural heritage resource assessment of the proposed bridge alternatives for the

Trent River Bridge Crossing is value based. Value- based heritage evaluation includes

activities that identifies places and buildings with heritage value of significance and/or

interest through an understanding of their historical, cultural, community and aesthetic

attributes. The assessment recognizes the value of municipally designated properties

measured against potential disruption and displacement effects, and recognizes some of

the alternative crossings will have a greater visual impact on the Trent River, which is

part of the Trent-Severn Waterway, a nationally recognized historical site.

Due to the nature of the undertaking all twelve (12) proposed bridge alternatives for the

Trent River Bridge Crossing will result in varying degrees of change to the existing

cultural heritage environment and will affect built heritage resources and/or cultural

heritage landscapes of 40 years of age and older. All twelve (12) of the proposed bridge

alternatives for the Trent River Bridge Crossing will result in disruption effects—

principally visual of differing degrees—to the Trent River. The Trent River is considered

to be of important heritage significance. The historic viewshed of the Trent River

together with the historic core of Campbellford are considered to be of important heritage

significance or value. The historic core of downtown Campbellford is considered to be of

important cultural heritage significance or value and forms an individual cultural heritage

landscape common to the eight (8) alternatives surveyed within the historic core. Within

this large cultural heritage landscape, there are smaller and more discrete areas of

heritage interest or value such as streetscapes.

The value based review of the twelve (12) proposed bridge alternatives for the Trent

River Bridge Crossing in regard to cultural heritage resources was undertaken and the

four (4) proposed bridge alternatives for the Trent River Bridge Crossing located outside

the historical core of Campbellford would have the least negative impact to cultural

heritage landscapes and built heritage resources. There are no associated displacement

impacts to cultural heritage landscapes or built heritage resources and minimal high

disruption impacts. They four (4) proposed bridge alternatives for the Trent River Bridge

Crossing outside the historic core of Campbellford are:

o Meyers Island Road/James Road to Bradley Road to CR8;

o 4th Line;

o 5th Line # 1; and,

o 5th Line 1A.

AECOM Canada Ltd. has undertaken an evaluation of all alternatives in which they have

incorporated the input from this report under the factor, “Cultural Environment”. This

report has identified heritage resource mitigation measures in Section 7.0 that would

apply to the preferred Trent River Bridge Crossing alternative identified by AECOM.





7.0 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS

A proposed undertaking should not adversely affect cultural heritage resources and

intervention should be managed in such a way that its impact is sympathetic with the

value of the resources. When the nature of the undertaking is such that adverse impacts

are unavoidable it may be necessary to implement management or mitigation strategies

that alleviate the deleterious effects to cultural heritage resource. Mitigation is the process

of causing lessening or negating anticipated adverse impacts to cultural heritage

resources and may include such actions as avoidance, monitoring, protection, relocation,

documentation, salvage, remedial landscaping, etc. Mitigation may be a temporary or

permanent action.

The principal philosophy in the protection of culturally significant heritage features such

as listed and designated built heritage resources is to preserve the heritage building or

structure in situ. The following conservation options, listed in descending order of

preference, are standard mitigation measures for cultural heritage resources:

1. Retention of the existing built heritage resource in-situ.

2. Relocation of the existing built heritage resource to a new location on its current

site.

3. Relocation of the existing built heritage resource to an appropriate new site

nearby in the municipality, preferably in the vicinity of its original location to

preserve its historical value.

4. Full recording and documentation of the built heritage resource if it is to be

demolished.

5. Salvage of elements for incorporation into existing historic or new structures.

Mitigation recommendations for the undertaking are as follows, and apply only to the

preferred selected alternative for the Trent River Crossing:

(1) Where a building is protected by municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage

Act and it is to be affected by a preferred bridge alternative, either by high disruption

or displacement effects, a qualified built heritage consultant should undertake a

heritage impact assessment report as part of the mitigation measures. Mitigation

measures shall include a cultural heritage documentation report including exterior

and interior photographs, photo key plans, site plan and floor plans if deemed

necessary as well as the documentation of the associated cultural heritage landscape,

both within the legal property boundaries and of the immediate surroundings or

streetscape. This action should occur prior to Detail Design.

(2) A heritage evaluation report shall be prepared including historical research and

heritage evaluation using the Ontario Heritage Regulation 9/06 to ascertain the

heritage value of those non-designated or non listed resources of 40 years and older

identified as a built heritage resource or cultural heritage landscape to be affected by

displacement or high disruption effects due to the undertaking. If a building is





deemed worthy of listing or municipal designation, the Town of Trent Hills shall act

accordingly to protect its cultural heritage resources.

(3) If a heritage building or structure considered to be worthy of listing or municipal

designation after a heritage evaluation report is completed and it is to be displaced as

a result of the undertaking, a cultural heritage documentation report including

exterior and interior photographs, photo key plans, floor plans, site plan and

documentation of the associated cultural heritage landscape, both within the legal

property boundaries and of the immediate surroundings or streetscape shall be

completed. This action should occur prior to Detail Design.

4) If a cultural heritage landscape is to be affected by high disruption effects a cultural

heritage documentation report shall be completed including important viewsheds in

regard to the Trent River.
