‘We desired to find a tunnel’: B.C. wall yields artifacts, no tunnels

A major conservation project on a historic Wharf Street retaining wall has uncovered long-lost artifacts from Victoria’s early commercial waterfront, while putting a famous local myth to the test.
The restoration, completed by Heritage Masonry & Conservation, focused on a retaining wall connected to two of the city’s earliest commercial buildings: the Hudson’s Bay warehouse and the Turner Beeton & Co. office, both constructed in the 1800s.
