Ok so this location isn(a)t really abandoned to say. This lane-way is accessible from Old Finch Ave west of Sewells rd, in the north-east end of Toronto{Scarborough} There was about 4 residents that lived off this lane-way. The property was once owned by Andrew Flemming according to the 1878 map of the area. Andrew Flemming settled from Scotland in 1852, he was a farmer. The 4 houses that once stood on the property were torn down when a sub-division was built near by. I(a)m not sure exactly the years when the 4 houses were built and torn down. The lane-way is completely visible from the road. If you walk down the lane-way you can see where the houses once stood. The transformers attached to the power line poles still stand as well. There is a really old tall rusted silo that still stands on the property too. At the north end of the property there stands a barn{not sure the full details about the barn either}. Lots of junk left behind in the barn.
