Oh my ... I was just randomly surfing the net on the mining history of Black Diamond and came across this good article. What struck me is toward the end of it: "Today, the area where the mine was located is owned by YarrowBay and is part of the Lawson Hills development that will eventually bring 1,200 new homes to the area." I am familiar with the controversy around the YarrowBay plans ... but I didn't know THIS is where they were planning to build. If that's not asking for hauntings, ha ha, I don't know what is!

Oh, I neglected to mention that the mining accident back in 1910 killed several people and five of the bodies couldn’t be recovered, so guess where they are!!
