An 1860s Fraser River fishing village with its main street intact: heritage churches, a 1932 clock tower, murals, and a working boat basin at the end of the road.
Delta Street at Chisholm Street, Ladner Village
More infoLadner was founded in 1868 by the Ladner brothers and grew up as a Fraser River fishing village, and the compact grid around Delta Street has kept the bones. St Andrews Presbyterian Church from 1890, the Old Ladner Baptist Church from 1903, McKee House from 1895 and the 1932 clock tower raised for William Ladner all stand within a few blocks, and the Delta Street art walk has filled the gaps between with murals. Walk it down toward the water and the fishing fleet is still tied up at the boat basin. It costs nothing, takes about an hour, and every shop, brewery and pastry counter worth stopping at sits on the same five blocks.
Start where Delta Street meets Chisholm and simply work the five blocks on foot. Look for St Andrews Presbyterian from 1890, the Old Ladner Baptist Church from 1903, McKee House from 1895 and the 1932 clock tower, then follow the street down toward the boat basin where the fishing fleet still ties up. The murals of the Delta Street art walk fill the gaps in between. Give it an hour, wear shoes you can amble in, and use the brewery or the pastry counter on the same blocks as the halfway pause.
