Norwood High School, 245 Nichols St, Norwood MA photogrpahed from Buck Hill.

The First Congregational Church, 100 Winter St and First Baptist Church, 71 Bond St, both in Norwood MA photographed from Buck Hill. And you may ask yourself, why do I only see one church in this photo? In one of those weird coincidences, the steeples of the two churches are almost perfectly aligned, one in front of the other. The Congregational is in front and the Baptist in back. Looking carefully, notice that the cross atop the front steeple is visible part of the way down the rear steeple.

Below the churches is the Morrill Memorial Library, 33 Walpole St. Below the library a couple of office houses can be seen at 5 and 17 Walpole St. To the right side of the frame is a fairly large house with two chimneys at 78 Bond St. Just to the right of the church is a house with a white chimney at 35 Chickering St and the top window and roof of the house right across the street at 34 Chickering St. Above those houses and just to the right of the church steeples is a house at 11 West St. All of the buildings visible in this photo are in Norwood MA.

I have been trialling Substack as a supplement to my blog. Substack has a large community of people interested in local and social history, so it's a good fit for me. I'm not planning to stop blogging, and some posts may appear in both places, but it allows me scope to write on a wider range of topics. https://edintone.substack.com/p/newspapers-and-research #Substack #ArthurConanDoyle #SherlockHolmes #Norwood

This is a fire that I photographed from Buck Hill this morning, November 3rd 2024 just after 7am. I'm uncertain where the fire is located or what the source of it is, but considering the recent spike in wildfires in Massachusetts, I suspect this is also a wildfire. The building at the lower left is the former Norwood Hospital, which would put this on a bearing for the towns of Medfield MA and Medway MA, perhaps Noon Hill Reservation or Shattuck Reservation. So far I have not been able to find any corroborating source for a fire in those towns.
