In the above photo looking north along Toronto Street Uxbridge from the Presbyterian Church towards Brock Street you can see the Library at the end of the tree lined street.

A lot has changed over the years on Toronto Street.   The Presbyterian Church has had additions.  Houses and trees have been removed for the strip plaza on the west side of the street.   The Library had an addition to the south in 1987, where the old Bell Tower used to stand (see the post card below).  On the right just before the Library is the Toronto Street Medical Centre.

Anyone growing up in the the 70’s and 80’s would remember the Beckers store here as well.
