Geocache Description:

Byways of Burnside #20

These byways have come into being through a variety of reasons. Some are easements for drainage etc., others are walkways left in subdivisions while a few are narrow linear creek walks. Older lanes provided access for the ‘night carts’ that collected ‘night soil’ from the houses backing on to the lanes – nice euphemisms!

All the byways are easily accessible by foot and some by car, although walking is recommended. Some are quite attractive while others are less appealing. The caches are all on public land.

WARNING This general area is closely settled, traffic is likely at all hours of the day or night and Muggles abound.

Named after Eliza Christiana Prescott.
Eliza was the daughter of William Prescott and lived on Prescott’s Farm for eighty two years.
The final remnant of Prescott’s Farm was two acres that had been bought by Eliza in 1911 on the east side of Prescott Terrace between Watson and Alexandra Avenues.
Family members built homes on this land and the last remnants of the farm survived until 1938.
