Beardmore Leather
Tannery Property (Acton, Ontario): There are two guardhouses on either
side of the driveway at the entrance on Elgin Street South, just south
of Agnes Street. They have taken a beating from vandals and have been badly
damaged and set on fire. A recent addition to the guardhouses are fences
to protect the remaining structures.
The main gate
of the tannery property stands locked - it is hard to believe how things
can change and a thriving business that employed so many has disappeared
and the site now sits empty.
The trail runs
along the northern edge of the former Tannery property. This part is from
right in front of the gatehouse looking towards Frederick St S. This pathway
also includes a sewer and a hydro line and some great trees.
