Some streets are like time machines, and St. Andrews Rd. in Scarborough is one of the best. Running between Brimley and McCowan Rds., it begins and ends its short length in a typical postwar suburban setting of single family homes. But, in between, it goes back a century and a half, transforming into a narrow 19th-century road following the contours of one of Highland Creek’s tributaries, along the way passing by some bits of old Scarborough.
Running across the forested top of Thomson Memorial Park, St. Andrews Rd. is a little quieter than the rest of Scarborough and the pace is slower, perhaps because the cars can’t go as fast on the narrow road and our sense of city-speed is so attuned to automobile velocity.
[This street is also the home of ] St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, built in 1849 but with a congregation that goes back to 1818. The church cemetery is here too, the final resting spot of some of Scarborough’s earliest European founders, including the Thomson family from Scotland, for whom Thomson Park is named. The sexton’s house, adjacent to the cemetery, is still occupied. Apart from some telephone poles, a walk in this area probably feels a lot like it always has.

You are looking for a small black bison tube in a small tree, close to the ground, attached to a grey cord. Please be respectful of this area; take a moment to stroll through the grounds and have a look at some of the very old gravestones.
