So this shows one of the locks, right? Remnants of that old road are still there, with Yonge street now running over the locks with a bridge resting on it.

Yes, more photos of these in the day would be much appreciated.

The picture does not do it justice. These 3 blades of grass had erupted through 2 inches of asphalt!

This is all that remains on the site of the barn and silo just north of Lowes on Yonge Street.

Five portrait pictures were stitched with "autostitch" to create this panorama.

Zoom in for a closer look... The white building just to the right of center is at the intersection of Yonge Street and Mount Albert Road

This photo appears to be taken at the bottom of Yonge St. (formally aprox. 2007: Old Yonge St.), looking North. The view directly ahead (diminishing behind stop sign), is Holland Landing Road traveling North.

The road roadway which horizontally intersects the stop sign is the Hwy 11B (formally aprox. 2007: Holland Landing Rd.) As that roadway curves off to the right of the picture, it becomes Yonge St, heading North.

The road in the forground that travels to the right is a residential laneway.

This area can be confusing due changes in the roadway and intersections made around 2005 and the name changes that later followed. Older road maps may now seem confussing as the names have switched and intersctions re-aligned.

The top part of Yonge St.(Formally Old Yonge) which appears coming from the bottom of the picture, leads back up the hill towards Newmarket. Holland Landing was the original termius of Yonge St. in 1798 as it was the first road built from Toronto (then caled York), to the busy community of Holland Landing.
