(a, top) Jellett's notes which are transcribed as follows:
Hartwell Avenue
Fee told me there was no mill at Hartwell Avenue as some have supposed. The ruins there, which I well remember, were those of a gate house which C. Megarge built for the control of the water of the reservoirs located on the east side of Hartwell Avenue at the top of the hill.
The 19 mile milestone is beside the Hartwell Avenue Bridge.
(b, bottom) This newspaper clipping is entitled "Hartwell Avenue Bridge", in pencil, by Jellett. The unknown author recounts the beautiful views from the Hartwell Avenue bridge is of iron, replacing a previous wooden bridge claimed by a flood. The author also recalls a mill and some houses which no longer stand.Collection
