A bit further North of Ryley is this UGG grain elevator labelled Valentine. I’m not sure if Valentine was a former town or the name of the farm. This was an unexpected find for me. You never know where you’ll run into a grain elevator that’s been moved to a small local farm. Secondary highways can only get you so far. There’s probably untold numbers of old grain elevators on private farms out in the middle of nowhere Alberta.
I am quite happy to have found this one as I don’t think there’s all that many that still says UGG on them. The only other one that comes to mind is Wetaskiwin.
Scenic photos of various historic wooden grain elevators found in Alberta that were a part of daily life in early Western Canada. I had travelled to these locations taking photos and experiencing the small towns that they were a part of. Wooden grain elevators were once common across the prairie provinces, but are now rather scarce as they have largely been replaced by large concrete grain terminals. Grain elevators were the heart of their communities and are slowly disappearing due to age, fire and neglect. Some of the grain elevators shown have already burnt down or were demolished.
