Phelps Corner.
The intersection of West Street (West Avenue) and Plains Road with the Middlesex Turnpike was not at a ninety-degree angle. Traffic going west actually had to travel very slightly north and then turn left down Plains Road. There was a formal rotary (and traffic light) here in later years. The reason for this slight offset was the fact that Plains Road (Route #153 today) was not built until the mid-1830s, while West Street was a pre-1700 highway, and the Middlesex Turnpike was constructed in 1801. In this part of Essex, the Turnpike was known as Railroad Avenue after 1870. The train station and tracks became operative in that year. Over the years, houses were built south of the Mud River bridge (now in a tube under Route #154 by exit #3) to where Route #153 is now laid out. In addition a group of buildings was built on the northeast side of this "corner," including a retail store. The Cocapard, Martello, and Pinelli familes all owned property on this side of the highway. On th ... [Read More]
