}} Hazel Hill is a small community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in The Municipality of the District of Guysborough in Guysborough County.[5]

Engineers and skilled workers were brought from England and a planned ‘white collar’ community was built, including stylish homes, a tennis court, cricket field and curling rink.

Trans-Atlantic Telegraph Cable Station

Hazel Hill was chosen by the Commercial Cable Company in 1888 as the site for a trans-Atlantic cable station as it is the closest point of land in mainland North America to Europe.[6][7] The station was housed in an imposing two-and-a-half storey brick and granite structure.[8] The Hazel Hill trans-Atlantic cable station received a distress signal from the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912, news concerning the end of World War I or Treaty of Versailles, and the Wall Street Crash of 1929. It ceased operation in 1962 and due to its poor condition was set to be demolished in 2017.[9][10]
