Historic Sites of Manitoba: Honey Wagon Shack (Rosser Avenue East, Brandon)This simple wooden building, with an exterior clad in corrugated metal panels, overlooks the Assiniboine River on the east side of Brandon. It is the remains of a primitive sewage disposal system used in the early 20th century, wherein raw sewage collected from around the city by horse-drawn wagons was brought here and poured into a cast-iron pipe at the rear of the building. The pipe discharged the sewage into the river and it was carried away by flowing water. The building is part of an environmental interpretive trail at the site.
