The Boat120 viewsWe hadn't planned to explore today (in fact we were only in Shediac to get Poutine) but seeing the boat again from a distance...
I had failed to get inside on my last trip to Canada, when the boat was run aground - how would our luck be this time ?

Compressor 2131 viewsPrevious trips to InverKip had always failed to turn up the one thing we really wanted to see: The Central Control Room!
As compressor 2 points us in the right direction, we press on deeper into the facility.

A Housing Development Called FAIL36 viewsWith our expectations set to 'SUPERB' - we decided to come down and have another look at how this truly wonderful old building is being respectfully restored into modern housing.
We head for the Marketing Suite!
|
|
Marketing Suite - FAIL34 viewsAnd straight away we hit a snag - no Marketing Suite!
Ohhh, bad news!!
Anyways, let's press on - I'm sure there's much more to see at this 'SUPERB' Development?

RavensPark Now Arch43 viewsWow. They said it couldn't be done - but JUST LOOK - every historical detail of the wonderful archway has been preserved perfectly!!
It's just as I remember it! Except for the fencing, maybe.
Whoever lives in these two LUXURY SELECT DEVELOPMENT HOUSING HOUSES are soooo lucky!

|
RavensPark Facade47 viewsAgain, I'm speechless; somehow in all the conversion they have captured the essence of this building perfectly!
By doing away with pointless follies such as walls and windows, the craftsmen have focused on the clean lines and outlook of the building. This bold new vision has been taken to its logical conclusion inside too - by quashing the old fashioned notion that a house requires floors or ceilings.
It's stunning!

Three Phase82 viewsThe output cables from one of the massive generators! Three phase - Blue Yellow Red.
Wouldn't like to see the insulation fail on these!! :-S

|
Nightmare Corridor181 viewsInside occupational therapy. I'm not sure if it was therapeutic for me, but it did keep me occupied.
One out of two isn't a complete failure, hmm?
|
|
RavensPark New Flats55 viewsAhhh!! The jewel in the crown!! The BRAND NEW section of SUPERB HOUSING!!
By removing the old, substantial, laden with character, historical two-storey building which once stood here, the craftsmen were able to build (from scratch) in its' place - another two-storey building completely void of any strength, character or architectural merit whatsoever which looks just like every other rabbit hutch you've ever seen.
There are just one or two (or three) of these SUPERB HOUSES left - so be quick if you are interested!

The Hook Corridor93 viewsInside the 'Hook Corridor'!
Our best guess, given the proximity to the pantry would be that these hooks were for hanging game and pheasant maybe.
Failing that, fuck knows!? There sure are a few of 'em!

|
The Burnt Light49 viewsAs usual, Neds have attempted to set fire to the building. While they failed overall (drywall doesn't burn, retards) they did manage to melt this light.
It oozes its way to the floor, in the slowest escape you'll ever see!
We press on to find the 'room with the curtains' we saw from outside.

RavensPark Now50 viewsHere's a quick overview of the whole site from the back.
-= SUPERB! =-

Tripod Guards254 viewsMy Tripod Watches me as I carefully traverse the lethal floor of doom!!!
If I get into trouble, it will instantly and without fail continue to be a tripod; and do nothing in the way of assisting me. Tripods are such uncaring bastards.
|
|
LTV Kroo155 viewsI wonder, did LTV fail not because of a shoddy business plan and lack of investment; but bad spelling!?
|
|
Door To Nowhere268 viewsSo it's most fortunate that we are in the habit of staring DOWN before entering a room, eh?
Let's get a better look at what we could expect had we failed to notice this small problem...
|
|
Main Hall - Grand Stage233 viewsWow. Stunning.
They will never build anything like this again. If we fail to protect this, we will never SEE anything like this again.
