Map location of Brigus

"Brigus is a small, picturesque town in Conception Bay, NL nestled around a sheltered harbour and surrounded by hills." During the 1800s it "exploded with activity" through shipbuilding and Labrador-fishery participation, becoming "one of the most prosperous in Conception Bay." Today it is "one of the few towns on the Avalon Peninsula that has preserved its historic character to such a large extent" — including the "Brigus Porch," "characterized by a distinctive rounded roof and glazed doors and sides." source
