'Turnback Tuesday' features picture postcard of 3 streets in East Derby


Turnback Tuesday visits East Derby at the corner of New Haven Avenue (Rt. 34), Old New Haven Avenue, and Prospect Street. 
This postcard is looking north up Prospect. To the left is what is now Route 34 with the photographer standing on Old New Haven Avenue. 
The small home in the center is 58 New Haven Ave., and the home to the extreme right is 7 Prospect St. Both are still there today with some changes. 
This postcard was given to the library May 11, 1908.

Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
