At 121 kilometers (76mi) long, it is one of the major rivers of Nova Scotia.-----------------------------------------------------This old pulp mill was built by Robert (Bobby) Millard who lived in Charleston from 1929–1939, just above the bridge on the Medway River. At that time, the population was about 150 people, about 20 of whom worked in the pulp mill.The Nova Scotia Wood Pulp and Paper Company mill was located at Salter's Falls in Charleston, a small community a short distance up the Medway River from Mill Village. In its earliest days Charleston made money from lumber. Several sawmills operated in the area, the lumber being shipped to market through Port Medway.The Nova Scotia Wood Pulp and Paper Company mill, built in 1881 was one of the first pulp mills in the province and was located on the site of earlier sawmills at Salter's Falls. This mill burned in June of 1903 but it was quickly rebuilt. The pulp produced at this mill was taken by wagons and sleds pulled by horses and oxen to Port Medway, from where it was transported to the United States.. When this mill was destroyed by fire in 1947, the business closed for good.One of the problems facing the mill in its early days was a lack of water during the summer, meaning that the mill could only run about nine months of year. In 1916 a dam was constructed by the mill owners, creating a pond to water. When the mill burned for the final time, the site became a federal and provincial fish hatchery. |
