Warkworth housing being reshaped to revive community
An hour east of Toronto, the Northumberland Hills are sprinkled with villages of Victorian-era homes, antique shops and quirky cafés.

But there hasn't been much concentrated construction lately, beyond Northumberland County's lake-hugging communities of Port Hope, Cobourg and Brighton.
