Growing up in the south end of Sarnia in the 50's and 60's as I
did , the Sarnia water tower was a familiar landmark in the
neighbourhood . It stood in a large field that was bounded by the
CN railway tracks to the south and Campbell Street to the north .
The site was also used for countless travelling carnivals that
arrived during the summer months .
The tower is gone now and the field is filled with buildings -
just the memories remain . The photo was taken in October of 1968
during the construction of the new Vidal Street overpass . On the
skyline is the old water tower which was soon to come down .
