The Lydgate Sold, as Well
as is Another Pacific
Avenue Corner

David Silverstein, of Philadelphia,
has purchased from John Barker the
Lydgate cottage at 14I east Taylor ve-
This dwelling was built twenty
years ago by a Mr.. Coe, from whom
Mr.. Barker purchased it. At that time
this cottage was known as the Coe cot
tage. Mr.. Barker changed the name
to Lydgate, after a suburb of Todmor-
den, a town in England, where he was
born. Todmorden is thirty miles from
Manchester. 1t is just fifty years ago
since Mr.. Barker anne to live In this
country. After disposing of the Lyd-
gate MI. Barker purchased the Holly
Rose, 1876 east Taylor avenue, imme-
diately opposite the Lydgate. The
Holly Rose was long the residence of
the late Charles Bridges, at the time
he was local editor of the FIVE MILE
BEACH JOURNAL, from 1892 to 1895.
After the death of Mr.. Bridges in the
month of January, 1919, his daughter
Alice sold the property to Mrs. w. H.
Bright for n thousand dollars. She
sold it to Charles Whitehead, and the
latter sold it to Mr.. Barker for 81 800.
Mr.. Whitehead has bought the prop
erty opposite the life saving station,
corner Pacific and Leaning avenues,
of Mary A. Bridges, of Philadelphia,

rear of this lot was for several years
used as a shoemaker shop by the late

phia, is erecting a two-story apartment

Wildwood Excursion Pier

That is to be the name of the new
pier now in course Of construction at
the foot of Wild wood avenue The
width of this pier will be 81 feet and
the depth 1876 feet. From the main
pier a fishing pier viii! be built, extend
ing $50 feet further out into the ocean,
thus making the total length of the

Palisades, n. j., are the promoters of
this new Wildwood enterprise. Char
ley NIckerson finished the driving in
of the piling last Monday. So the
structure will soon be under way.
This pier will be painted white with
green trimmings. The supervision of
the work will be under direction of
Theodore Edward Luff and f. HI. Luff,
Jr. F. H. Luff, ST., is superintendent
Of the amusement park in the Bergen
county resort, and Palisades is a rival
Of Coney Island park. The average
Sunday attendance at the Palisades
park is $1,000 people. The briny bath
pool there accommodates as many As
1000 bathers at one time. The Wild
wood Excursion Pier will be known as
a free pier. No admission fees will be
charged. An up-to-date whip will be
one Of the features, it was learned, but
all efforts to find out more failed. The
other amusement devices or features
contem plated will be kept a secret un-
til near the opening of the season next
year. Some sensational surprises may
be in store for those who seek novelties
and entertainment that Is different.
Wildwood's popularity may be meas
urably enhanced by this new venture.
