KENTVILLE, NS (Canada)
Design C2
Two battlements and apple blossoms
The castle battlements or crenellations part of this design to frame the Cornwallis River is as in Design C1. However, unlike Designs A2 and B2, where the single apple blossom in Designs A1 and B1 were replaced by a set of triple apple blossoms, I replaced the single apple blossom in Design C1 with just two apple blossoms here to balance with the two battlements or crenellations.

REFERENCE
Kentville is the most populous town in the Annapolis Valley with a population of about 6600 in 2021. It is mostly known in the present for its annual Apple Blossom Festival in May, and was once known in the early 1800s as The Devil’s Half Acre for its rowdy drinking and horse racing that makes for some delightfully visual flag design ideas! They still use the name at times so it’s not taboo for flag design! Only the iconic Main Street Station with its castle like roof line remains of Kentville’s architectural history, with no designated historic properties in town. Otherwise, the town owes to its existence in originally crossing the Cornwallis River to connect the rest of the Valley with the rest of the Nova Scotia mainland. The Acadians were the first European settlers there before being expelled and replaced by the British.
