On the Bonavista peninsula you can still see houses with root cellars, which originated before refrigeration as a way to keep root vegetables (carrots, turnips, beets, parsnips, potatoes) fresh through the winter months. Nowadays there is a revival of interest in this ancient practice. Next to a colourful shed and abandoned dory and old root cellar is built into the rocky treeless bluff above the harbour at Trinity, Newfoundland. Old salt box houses can be seen on the top of the bluff.
