When we did the first Booth escape route tours in 1977, he would point out the general location that old-timers had described to him. We can thank JOH for defining the landmarks along the escape route while most of us were still teenagers.

John Stanton - when we first started doing the tours, I can also remember seeing portions of the old roadbed running parallel to the current road leading to King George. Are they still visible?

Yes Laurie, parts of the road can be seen, in the woods on the side away from Cleydael. But not for long. The land was sold. New Drive ways, huge houses on large acre sites. The development reaches from Cleydael back to St. Pauls, and down 218 past Caledon Park. (That's better than another Landfill).
