Woodbridge Heritage Conservation District and Amos Maynard

Alfred Maynard: My great grandfather Amos Maynard owned the property here, he had a machine shop, and he built all the houses on the street, he says, according to Toronto Star. He stops again along the street, which makes up a part of the Woodbridge Heritage Conservation District in Vaughan. Maynard, 82, stops at the corner just past the train tracks and points. There was a house here, that had gothic windows, and was owned by a little lady named Pinky White, says Maynard, adding almost apologetically: I just know too much about this street. His great-great grandfather Alfred Maynard came to Woodbridge in the 1860s. With Maynard as the guide, a walk down the 650-metre stretch of road takes more than half an hour, spans three centuries and several generations. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
