Morley Avenue was renamed in 1923 and became Woodfield Rd. Property values were falling because of the proximity to the sewer plant. Renaming the street was hoped to disassociate the neighbourhood from “the perfumery”.

Dawson’s Boathouse (later Dawson’s built boats like cabin cruisers), Little’s Boathouse, the Armoried Co., and the Don Rowing Club were at the foot of Woodfield. The Morley Avenue skating rink was there too.

[...] Just as I was thinking about these things, members of my group were on the same wave length, wondering why academia can’t get uptake from industry. At ICSE 2011, a panel of academics (including CHISEL members) and industry experts presented “What industry wants from research”. You can find the slides from this panel here and here. [...]

Thank you so much Pam for the information regarding the Toronto City Directories. On the draft registration card of 1918 of John Wood it states that he worked for the British Goverment as a meat inspector. If anyone can send me in a direction on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards,

Patti, re City Directories: Google Toronto Directories. You will be able to access about a dozen online at the Toronto Public Library. The first section is alphabetical by street. Later it is by the name of the individual. The street part is really useful, because, apart from being able to work out where the missing streets were, you can also work out where a particular address was located on a long street. Intersecting roads are named, so you can easily locate where exactly your relative lived.
