The Undesirables: A History of Rockhead Prison is the revealing story of Rockhead, an imposing structure that was located on Gottingen (now Novalea) and Leeds Streets in Halifax. Nestled in with the industrial, working-class North End, for many residents, their backyards were adjacent to the prison.

Do you recognize this street corner from 1970? 🤔

This old photo of Agricola Street consists of a fish & chips place at a street corner with a Volkswagen Bug parked out front and children standing outside with a baby buggy.
