Wakefield
Wednesday 25 May: Famous for a steam train which runs from Hull, through Chelsea and up to Wakefield, then turns around on a turntable and goes back again. Wakefield is a town in Quebec, much like Merrickville in its charm.
There’s a covered wooden bridge which spans the Gatineau River. The original bridge was built in 1915 and burnt down in 1984. A group of local volunteers established a rebuild project in 1987 and it was finally completed in 1997.
