Harewood is my happy place! This sign just happens to be almost directly across the street from where I grew up.

There’s something sacred to me about walking the streets (and train tracks) around here, almost like I can feel the history under my feet with every step I take.

Do you have a place like that? If you don’t – FIND ONE! You’ll be glad you did.

Here’s another round of excellent birds-eye-view photos of the Harewood of yesteryear.

Like the photos in Volume 1, I found these high-quality pics buried in the Nanaimo Archives. They were all taken by Englefield Studio.

Is that the Old Barn Inn in the second photo???

Happy Hour in Harewood – at Sip Neighbourhood Pub!

What makes a neighbourhood? Schools, parks and recreational centres are all important, no doubt. But what is a neighbourhood without a neighbourhood pub?

@sip_neighbourhood_pub is THE local watering hole in Harewood.

I was there a few days ago for Happy Hour and it was excellent. Kick-ass craft beer and satisfying munchies for shockingly affordable prices.

Amazing Aerial Photos of Harewood - Volume 1

Feast your eyes on these amazing old aerial photos taken high above Harewood.

All of the photos were taken by Englefield Studios – presumably from an airplane – and were found by me while digging through the Nanaimo Archives.

The really fun part is zooming in to these highly-detailed shots to see how much has changed from the Harewood of today.

Harewood’s railway story runs deeper than most people realize. Long before the modern E&N Trail, the neighbourhood was laced with coal tramways, mine spurs, and proposed rail lines that tied local pits into Vancouver Island’s wider rail economy.

Our new article traces these forgotten lines, the 1860s railway that was surveyed but never built, and how today’s Island Corridor follows the same logic through the land.
