Bridgetown Water Tower
Kentville Subdivision, Mile 44.8
Hantsport is listed in 1873 as having a 18' x 11' water tank, perhaps similar to the Middleton Water Tower.[1]
By 1931, the tank was a semi-enclosed octagonal water tower, located just west of the station on the north side of the tracks.
It is listed on DAR employee timetables in 1931[2] through to 1951,[3] but was gone by 1959.[4]
