Here are some pics I took today of one of the golden road towns north of London on Highway 4, Exeter. Another town in my many small town Ontario pictures to come.
Exeter has a population of 4,500, located 50 km north of London on Highway 4 in Southern Huron County, and is known as the home of the "WHITE SQUIRREL", as a lot of white squirrels are around this area and are celebrated and loved. A new village was designed for here in the 1860s and had become the centre of the small immediate area. With the growth of London, Huron, and Bruce railways, two small towns amalgamated to become a village in 1873. Exeter also serves as a midpoint from the Stratford/Kitchener area as a pitstop for people travelling to London, Sarnia, or Grand Bend. Most of these pictures are of Exeter's historic buildings. Exeter has a vew vacant stores downtown, including a Shoppers Drug Mart that moved to the big box part of town, and a Pizza Delight and a couple of other stores are for rent. But downtown Exeter is very charming.
Town Hall
Furniture Store, Dinney's
Parkette and mural in the middle of downtown
Where the Shoppers Drug Mart used to be
Coming soon, Clinton, Goderich, Kincardine, Owen Sound, among many other midwest towns and other towns/cities in Ontario people are requesting...
