This recently discovered, rather idyllic picture is, to my knowledge, the only picture of Spring Lake Road as it once was many decades ago. Holy Trinity’s lych gate, one of the oldest, if not the oldest, lych gate in the country, is also pictured as well as the trees into which hitching rings were attached for those who rode horses to church. Because of lightning and disease, the trees were removed. Unfortunately, none of the hitching rings were preserved. The road, once known as Church Road, is paved.

Wonderful to hear from you, Alan! As you can see I still can’t resist the urge to keep on digging. The good news is that the book should be available within the month. Why not come for its launching?
