Hyman Street, London, Ontario

Hyman Street, London, Ontario
London, Ontario has many attractive old buidlings of white brick with carved gable trim and bargeboards. The carved tree trunk is a memorial to C. S. Hyman, for whom the street was named; the carver was Neil Cox.

For more information about Hyman, you can click the PiP at top left, which will take you to a description of his many accomplishments.

London, by the way, has an official tour of carved tree trunks, but I think you're meant to just drive around to the trees yourself. Save some time and just drive along Hamilton Road in southeast London, where almost all the tree trunks are. But, of course, we can't admit that it's a southeast London project, can we? When I tell people the neighbourhood in southeast London I grew up in they jump back as if I'm going to rob them. But its reputation is a highly exaggerated version of the truth. Anyway, if you drive along Hamilton Road you can also visit the Buddhist centre in the other PiP.

Here's the city's information about the tour:
