CHELTENHAM REPORT May 24,1992
|
|
***************** ===========
|
|
|
|
Part A
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cheltenham is located in the town of Caledon. Cheltenham was found in
|
|
1822 by Charles Haines. Cheltenham is located close to the Credit River
|
|
and the Canadian National Railway known as the C.N.R. The absolute
|
|
location of Cheltenham is 43 45' North and 79 55' West. The setting of
|
|
Cheltenham is a valley with the Nigara Escarpment behind it. Cheltenham is
|
|
located at the south west point of Caledon. Cheltenham is located north of
|
|
Toronto.
|
|
|
|
Now in 1989 Cheltenham is mostly residential. There is some open
|
|
space but very little industry now. There is one general store located in
|
|
the centre of cheltenham. There is a cemetary located opposite of The Fire
|
|
Hall.
|
|
|
|
Cheltenham was chosen as a town because of the Credit River and the
|
|
Canadian National Railway. The railway produced trasportation for goods to
|
|
be delivered to other cities. The cheap efficient rail transportation also
|
|
ment that Cheltenham's businesses had to compete against goods manufactured
|
|
by mass production in larger urban centers to the south. Therefore the
|
|
economy of Cheltenham would rise. The Credit River produce lots of Hydro
|
|
electric power for the people of Cheltenham.
|
|
|
|
The two main reasons why the site was chosen for a town was the
|
|
transportation produced by the C.N.R. and the hydro electric produced from
|
|
the Credit River.
|
|
|
|
Part B
|
|
------
|
|
The land use at the mill pond area between 1850-1870 in Cheltenham was
|
|
mostly industrial uses. Most of the industries or buildings were located
|
|
very close to each other because they all depended on each other. The
|
|
industries in Cheltenham were located close to the Credit river. The
|
|
buildings were small compared to the industries we have today.
|
|
|
|
The mill pond cover an area in Cheltenham of one hundred by two hundred
|
|
meters. There was once a dam and waterwheels in Cheltenham, but they are
|
|
now destroyed by a flood. Surrounding the mill pond is a small area of
|
|
grassland.
|
|
|
|
The types of industries in Cheltenham from 1850-1870 were a Flour and
|
|
grist Mill, a Cooper Shop, a Sawmill, a Slaughter House, a General Store, a
|
|
Blacksmith Shop, a Tannery, and three hotels. The sawmill, Flour and Grist
|
|
Mill, and the cooper shop were located right beside each other. The
|
|
tannery is just a little walk away. They are located so close to each
|
|
other because they depended on each other.
|
|
|
|
The blacksmith shop, the Orange hall, a store, Henry's hotel, and the
|
|
general store are located right beside each other. Opposite to them are
|
|
another store, the Beaver hall, another General store, and two Hotels.
|
|
They are so close to each other because that is were all the tourists would
|
|
stay if they came to Cheltenham. The stores would sell food to the people.
|
|
For example the people could leave their horse at the blacksmith shop to
|
|
get the shoes fixed while the man could go to the store to get a drink or
|
|
go to the hotel for a nap.
|
|
|
|
The dam was used to stop the water from leaving the mill pond. The
|
|
main purpose for the mill pond was to act as a reservoir so the people the
|
|
Cheltenham had a good supply of water whenever it was needed. The
|
|
reservoir can also be used as a place for fishing and recreation.
|
|
|
|
These industries were developed by early settlers because the location
|
|
was very close to a river. When the settlers came to Cheltenham they saw
|
|
that Cheltenham had a river so they built a saw mill and a flour and grist
|
|
mill there to take advantage of the water power. The industries were
|
|
dependant on eact other. Thats why a group of industries would be built
|
|
beside or very close to each other. The cooper shop could get the wood from
|
|
the saw mill.
|
|
|
|
The land at the mill pond is also very flat and wet. Since the is a
|
|
river then the erosion brought by the river would make the soil around in
|
|
very fertile and damp. The damp fertile soils were good for planting wheat
|
|
and other products. If the workers at the saw mill worked too hard and
|
|
were very hot they could always jump into the river for a quick swim to
|
|
cool off.
|
|
|
|
The main reason why the settlers built industries in Cheltenham was the
|
|
river located beside it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Part C
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The village of Cheltenham was a much more important commercial centre
|
|
in the 1870's than it is today because in the 1870's there was a railway.
|
|
It was called "The Canadian National Railway". The railway provided
|
|
cheap and good transportation. The railway delivered products made in
|
|
Cheltenham to many places. The railway offered alot of jobs for the people
|
|
who lived in Cheltenham. Many people from other places came on the train
|
|
and came to Cheltenham to buy things or to start a business of their own
|
|
because of the good transportation availible.
|
|
|
|
There were lots of natural resourses availible there, but now the
|
|
resourses are used up and the railway has closed down so lots of people
|
|
lost their jobs. Since there were no more jobs in Cheltenham then the
|
|
people moved to other prosperous cities. Since the people moved and there
|
|
was no more good transportation the owners of stores closed down and moved
|
|
also.
|
|
|
|
When the Interprovincial Brick Company opened it did not effect
|
|
Cheltenham's population because most of the forty workers either lived at
|
|
the brickyards or commuted from nearby villages, such as Terra Cotta, but
|
|
the increased business was not enough to keep Cheltenham's general stores
|
|
and hotels going. But there was a small rise in business caused by the
|
|
brick company.
|
|
|
|
Part D
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The brickworks developed just outside of Cheltenham because the
|
|
Canadian National Railway is located right beside it. The railway was a
|
|
good type of transportation.
|
|
|
|
If the brickworks were to open again as maybe planned it might raise
|
|
the economy of Cheltenham. The population would rise because there would
|
|
be more jobs offered there than before. Since our technology has increased
|
|
we don't have to use the railway. We can use other transportation such as
|
|
trucking and airplane.
|
|
|
|
I think even if the brickworks do open it won't help Cheltenham too
|
|
much because there is now to much competition in making bricks for houses.
|
|
Most of the people now like to live in the city because they can get what
|
|
ever they want, but if they move into the town then they won't have as much
|
|
entertainment. If the brickworks do open again I don't think it will not be
|
|
bad for Cheltenham infact it would benefit Cheltenham. Since Toronto is so
|
|
densely populated many people can move to Cheltenham if they like the
|
|
country life and the fresh air to start a new life. But after a few years I
|
|
think the brickworks will go out of business again because Cheltenham is
|
|
too far from the city and like I said there is too much competition in
|
|
making bricks.
