Unknown Ruins

Andy | Wednesday, April 27, 2011 | Best Blogger Tips


If you hike on the Duffin's Creek trail west of Valley Farm Rd., you will come upon this sight. It's all that remains of a house or cabin that once stood on this spot.


*************************************************




A few hundred feet away you can see this former dam. I can't find any local referrence to these ruins. From what I see, it makes me believe that this was once a lumber mill.

Roadside Memorial

Andy | Wednesday, April 20, 2011 | Best Blogger Tips

Roadside memorials usually mark a spot where someone has died in an automobile accident. I have no knowledge of who B Demelo may have been. Who ever put this maker here does and is letting others know that someone past on at this spot.

Is It Bulrush Or Cattail?

Andy | Tuesday, April 12, 2011 | Best Blogger Tips

Last year's bulrush is tattered but still standing after winter's blast. A couple of more months and the new growth should be in place

Arson Blamed For Airport Land House #2

Andy | Monday, April 11, 2011 | Best Blogger Tips

Pickering historian John Sabean said the Turner-Winger house was built in the 1860s or 1870s, possibly earlier. "It's what we call 'Ontario classic,'" he said of the brick, central-gable, storey-and-a-half home. The home sat on land expropriated by the federal government in 1972 for a possible airport, which hasn't been decided on yet. Since then, residents have been renting from the government, and many homes have been vacated and boarded up over time. You can see it here before it was vandalized.

The government has been demolishing the airport land houses one by one. This is a sad case where someone has beat them to it.

Horse Power

The number of horse power used to be a selling point of a new car. Have things now changed to the number of horses painted on the car?
