Only two houses remain of this 1904 neighbourhood, the rest having made way for a new and exciting concept called a FREEWAY. As Burnaby made the transition from rails to rubber, once-proud farmers and their families were bought out and moved along by the dozens, while the not so lucky ones quite literally walked away from their worthless properties. It is these few "other" houses, the ones that were not exactly in the way of the 1956 paving madness, that have left behind their footprints for us to ponder over. Most homes were looted and vandalized until the greenery got big enough to make people forget about them. That gave them three additional decades to secretely collapse into themselves uninterupted. Once serviced by both the Cumberland Station and the Hill Avenue Station, this tightly knit community is now nothing more than four houses in the way of a park expansion, two of which date from the original neighbourhood, and a very wide spread scattering of heritage house corpses.  Media Coverage  Future Plans One half Robert Burnaby Park expansion, one half regional conservation area (George Derby waterways)  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Lakeview Subdivision Wed, Jun 23rd, 2004 posted by HagensborgViking 26 pictures Lakeview Fri, Dec 9th, 2005 posted by nobody 12 pictures Sept 11/2012 Wed, Sep 12th, 2012 posted by PoT. 16 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
