Oct 17, 2010 Shades of the Past

Stan Deering was 10 years old when his family left Flatrocks. But his memories of his early childhood in that abandoned outport are still vivid. And as time goes by, to him they become more and more important.

About eight years ago, Stan and his wife Loretta moved back to the Conception Bay community of Flatrocks. And when they came, Stan brought his history with him. A thirty-year collection of old photographs and artifacts...bits and pieces of his past. And in this abandoned community, the most unlikely of places, Stan built a museum.

Discover Stan Deering's obsession with his history and the place he came from, in Shades of the Past.

Welcome to Land and Sea

For more than thirty years Land and Sea has brought you stories from people who live off the land and the sea. We cover issues that affect people in rural communities which ultimately affect those in cities as well.

We bring you stories from those who celebrate life living close to nature, who promote and protect their culture and traditional ways of doing things. There are stories of success and sometime failures that portray the unique way Atlantic Canadians deal with the challenges and pleasures of living on the east coast.

Join us Sundays at 12 noon on CBC Television.
