Nothing Of Importance

Very overgrown property, long grass and sharp plants everywhere. Check yourself for ticks after exploring, I had two on me. Black flies and mosquitos are also a problem when I went, very annoying when trying to take pictures. Sharp objects hidden all throughout the property, most of it old building material with sharp edges or nails sticking out of it. On the long concrete plain there is plenty of broken glass.

Despite my best efforts the history I could find on this property is very little. But here is what I did find, this property is on concession 4 lot 12 and is part of the East Flamborough region. It was incorporated into the greenbelt in 2005 and is under current Greenbelt protection. Satellite images from 2018 show it is still destroyed and google street view from 2008 still shows it to be in the same state as when I saw it. Most likely was a farmhouse with an egg-laying operation guessing based on the size of the concrete plain at the back. Probably grew wheat on the fields nearby and stored it in the silo that was built in 1914. Operations ceased probably pre 2000 and the house collapsed and the barn was either demolished or collapsed and then cleaned up. It was then incorporated into the greenbelt and then any development plans for this lot were discarded due to greenbelt protection and all the red tape that comes with it. Flash forward to now, it’s still abandoned and probably will be for a very long time, eventually, that silo will even collapse.
