The Mount Pleasant railway station is a disused railway station in Mount Pleasant, Brant County, Ontario, Canada. The station was built in 1916 for the Lake Erie and Northern Railway (an interurban electric railway which was a Canadian Pacific Railway subsidiary) according to a standard Canadian Pacific design, and was later used by the Grand River Railway, which was also a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific. The station, along with the rest of the Lake Erie and Northern system, was closed to passenger traffic in 1955 after a series of final excursion trips.Interurban railway service in the area began when the Grand Valley Railway Company purchased the Brantford Street Railway and extended it northward to Galt via Paris, Ontario, a process which was completed in 1904. By 1912, however, this line had been shut down due to poor track quality, and was ultimately sold to the City of Brantford, and later the Lake Erie and Northern. The Lake Erie and Northern, with its line still under construction in 1914, was purchased by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which was beginning to buy up and consolidate interurban railways. To complement its northern section between Galt and Brantford, the Lake Erie and Northern quickly built a southern section, initially to Simcoe, then to Port Dover, both in mid-1916. The surviving station building dates from this era, and is constructed according to a standard CPR pattern, with a steep roofline and prominent gables.After the station closed, the building was moved onto private property on Mount Pleasant Road. A local group, the Brant Railway Heritage Society, is hoping to restore or recreate the station building as a railway museum.

The Bell Memorial (also known as the Bell Monument or Telephone Monument) is a memorial designed by Walter Seymour Allward to commemorate the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell at the Bell Homestead National Historic Site, in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. In 1906, the citizens of the Brantford and Brant County areas formed the Bell Telephone Memorial Association, which commissioned the memorial. By 1908, the association's designs committee asked sculptors on two continents to submit proposals for the memorial. The submission by Canadian sculptor Walter Seymour Allward of Toronto won the competition. The memorial was originally scheduled for completion by 1912 but Allward, aided by his studio assistant Emanuel Hahn did not finish it until five years later. The Governor General of Canada, Victor Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire, unveiled the memorial on 24 October 1917. Allward designed the monument to symbolize the telephone's ability to overcome great distances. A series of steps lead to the main section where the floating allegorical figure of Inspiration appears over a reclining male figure representing Man, transmitting sound through space, discovering his power to transmit sound through space, and also pointing to three floating figures, the messengers of Knowledge, Joy, and Sorrow positioned at the other end of the tableau. Additionally, there are two female figures mounted on granite pedestals representing Humanity positioned to the left and right of the memorial, one sending and the other receiving a message. The Bell Memorial has been described as the finest example of Allward's early work. The memorial itself has been used as a central fixture for many civic events and remains an important part of Brantford's history. It was provided a heritage designation under the Ontario Heritage Act in 2005 and listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places in 2009.
