Reader Rudy charts what’s left of Pottery Rd.

Longtime reader Rudy of rudy.ca writes to note that he has charted much of the remaining remnants of Pottery Road still to be found from the 1940s route which ran down into the valley south of Moore Ave. This in response to our post that the short still-in-use section of Pottery between Moore and the Bayview extension has been re-paved. Rudy says the remnants make an interesting walk. He has been up and down them several times and says that the easiest portion to find is just east of Bennington Heights. He is concerned that the Hydro project may have wiped out some of it. There is also a section that runs  up from the tracks on the south side of Bennington Heights Public School to meet Bayview Heights Drive. There is also, he says, a remnant that runs north from the Bayview extension to the abandoned “Don branch” rail line and also a small section that came up out of the valley and connected to Hillside Drive behind the Charles Sauriol Parkette
