Bedford Landing, St. Andrew's and Beatniks Win Heritage Award
Congratulations to St. Andrew's Church, Beatniks Bistro, and Parklane's Bedford Landing on winning awards from the Langley Heritage Society last week.
Parklane and their Bedford Landing development took home a Heritage Conservation Award for integrating heritage into the new-built environment. St. Andrew's Church won for Preservation of a Heritage Building, and Beatniks Bistro prevailed for Adaptive Re-use of a Building with Heritage Interest.
The family and I had lunch at Beatniks for the first time last month, and it was great. A fun, beautiful environment, and delicious food. The Beatniks application was one of the very first developments I voted on as a Township Councillor back in 2006. It's turned out even better than we could have hoped.
If you haven't walked around Bedford Landing, or along that portion of the Fort-to-Fort Trail, you should. The streets are all named for historic local figures and families (with a poster providing explanation). There is interpretive signage promoting the natural, cultural and industrial history at Bedford Landing. Heritage trails are included within the trails network, and there are several artifacts from the old cedar mill along the Fort-to-Fort Trail. They have also preserved and restored a pumphouse, and rebuilt several loading wharfs into viewdecks along the Bedford Channel.
