1940: NOTTINGHAM WAY APPROACHING GREENWOOD AVENUE

On the left is the fence that once surrounded Greenwood Cemetery. This photo was taken across the street from the Bromley Inn. I am completely puzzled by the lay of the land as a drive would stay on Nottingham Way toward Trenton. The Harter nursery was on the left as you passed Greenwood Avenue. I am puzzled by the large mansion which appears to be in the middle of Nottingham Way. This is less than a quarter mile from my neighborhood, and I can't explain that building. Any ideas?

The gas station was just before the Hamilton Municipal complex, and later was used as a Real Estate Office/Travel agency.
If you were raised Off of
So. Olden Ave. near the oft mentioned Kuser Farm, you were one hell of long quarter mile away. More like 3-4 miles. Example; Newkirk to Liberty to Hamilton to Ward to Greenwood.
No wonder you grew old fast. Those short walks were too long for your little legs! LOL

behind the gas station, running between Greenwood and Nottingham, was Howe's Nursery, an offspring of the main nursery in Pennington. Bill Howe Jr. and the Kusers were related, I believe (his wife a Kuser?).

PS: Was in Trenton last Sunday and got lost! Well, tried to use streets that had changed, for sure!
