This shot is looking north towards the river. Sandwich street crosses in the middle of the picture. Nearly every building in the picture on the north side of Sandwich is gone today.

This concludes the Windsor Salt series. A huge thank you to JBM for sharing these with us.
is the grade crossing in the first photo just before the beginning of the S curve on Sandwich I think there was or is an OLCO gas station on the west side of the road just past that I think PYRAMID built house trailers in a plant near the salt plant,i’m just trying to get my bearings it’s a dam shame all this old history that made up Windsor and it’s all gone so sad when you look at Windsor today
any idea what that building on Sandwich street would be salt mine admin maybe??
gary, yes that it the spot right at the OLCO station. http://goo.gl/maps/alaLZ
And I believe that building is their admin. I thought Andrew had a post about it before.

Thanks for sharing the pics, JBM!
