Have you noticed the lovely wreath on the front door of the library? It looks familiar to a few Grangers in town who decorated that very wreath at the request of The Doctors Phelan Dental Practice as a donation for a fund raiser for Pleasant View Home in Concord. What guided Frank Curotolo and Dick Pratt to pick out that particular wreath and donate it to Chichester Library? It is one of those Christmas mysteries, a true circle of giving.




Happy Birthday on December 24 to Richard Millette and Jordan Davison.




Here are some fiction titles that you might want to look into on the shelves of the Chichester Town Library: Summer Hill Secrets by Beverly Lewis, Midnight in Madrid by Noel Hynd, Watchers by Dean Koontz, Hidden by Shelley Shepard Gray, Vengeance Trail by Bill Brooks, The Last Jihad by Joel C. Rosenberg, Sutter’s Cross by W. Dale Cramer, High Profile by Robert B. Parker, The Greedy Auctioneer by Evelyn Minshull, and Flight of the Raven by Ellen Harris.



 

Chichester Historical Society
Chichester Roads
By Walter Sanborn


In my previous articles on roads in Chichester, I have tried to tie in the origin of the name of the road to the historical background. With exceptions of Pound Road, Paradise Lane and Robinson Road, all other roads are private roads or roads or streets within a new development which are named by the developer when he submits his development to the Planning Board.


Robinson Road is a short road running off of  Dover Road by Hook Cemetery, opposite the Abundant Life store and was named after James Robinson Sr. who built the first house and road to it. This is a road serving five homes.


Paradise Lane is a short road running East off of  Hutchinson Road with several houses on it built by Gerard Paradis who lives at the end of the road. Also this is the location of Live and Let Live Farm which cares for rescued animals.


Chichester Lane is the shortest road in town which is only 500 feet long and serves one home at the end of the road. Chichester Lane is on the South side of  Dover Road and bisects the original two lots of the former Gary’s Trailer and Motor Home Sales. This road has been in its present location for a hundred years and existed before any development occurred on Dover Road.


Healy Pasture Road is a short road running South off of Pleasant Street serving Carl Merrill’s home but is now being extended for a new housing development.


Pound Road is a road behind the town library which I will go into detail when I write an article on the history of the town pound which I am researching.


There are four private roads in town not maintained by the town.


Mayflower Drive is a private road off of  Suncook Valley Highway, South of Clark’s Grain Store, opposite the Mattress Store. Mayflower Drive was part of a development started by Fred Ryan. The road was built, but not accepted by the Town.


Rasanan Drive is another private road off of Smith Sanborn Road with three houses on it which all have frontage on Smith Sanborn Road building lots.


Penney Lane is a short dead end road running off of Dover Road between Abundant Life and the Consignment Store and is a private road serving three homes.


Continuing down Dover Road just beyond the Motorcycle Store, running West off of Dover Road is Kenneally Lane which is another private road serving two homes.


Besides these roads, the town has two trailer parks and three subdivisions of which have town maintained roads within the subdivision.
