Hi there. Lovely photos. I am a direct descendant of one of the familys who emigrated to Saskatchewan in 1905. As one of the first settlers at this place when the railway came through they were allowed to choose the name of the settlement. They named it Bents, the name of the farm they emigrated from in Scotland, UK. I still farm at Bents Farm, West Calder, Nr Edinburgh, Scotland. These people were my Great ggrand parents. I have a picture of their original sod house at Bents, Saskatchewan & correspondence from them. I remember letters addressed to here from Bents, Harris, SK. George Elder Duncan

Hi Mike
Just to let you know I was in Bents yesterday. Most everything is still as your pictures show. I took some pictures but would be repeating most of what you show. Some of the buildings are becoming dangerous and you have to be very careful even outside in the back. We discovered an old well that is totally open.
Anyway thanks for your pictures it got me interested to go and have alook for myself.

Very Nice Gallery!

I went here in August 2006 and took a few pictures. ( and getting directions from Harris wasn't an easy task !!! ). There was no breeze that day and everthing was so quiet. Would have loved to see it years ago. Your pictures are great and I really enjoyed them.
Richard Calmes 15-Sep-2006 14:54
You have some excellent shots! Well composed! V

I wish we could here the buildings talking, what stories they could tell. Wonderful gallery!

I agree, Mike, there is not any need of captions, on the opposite ( even though I would have deleted the number of the photos as title, it’s just a detail…).
Images speak by themselves and it’s a very evocative gallery I deeply enjoy.

Very nice pictures Mike. I visited Bents on a couple of occasions about 8-10 years ago and only took a couple of pictures. Your pictures sure bring back the memories of that place. Bents is a classic Saskatchewan Ghost Town for sure. Thanks.

Mike, you have taken some beautiful photos!! I really enjoyed them, and looked at all the "Ghost Towns"....seems such a shame that sooner or later vandals will have broken most of it to pieces.
My Husband also enjoyed them...I hope the Saskatchewan Governent will pick up on this site and help you with it! I am in B.c, but if we need to go for a leisure trip..we now know were to go. It could be the "Trail of Broken Hearts!" Best wishes with all your work, Lesley Draper
