Throwback Thursday: Do You Remember...?

A photo and story of a landmark from Enfield's past.

ENFIELD, CT - In this weekly series, Enfield Patch publishes a photo of a business or landmark in town that is no longer in existence.

This aerial photo, taken from the Google Earth timeline feature, shows the intersection of Hazard Avenue and Elm Street in 1990. At that time, the south end of Elm Street was adjacent to the bank building and Enfield Pharmacy.

Later in the 1990s, Elm Street was re-configured to align with South Road, necessitating removal of several houses and the tennis court featured in the center of this photo. North Street was extended, and a small green built between the bank and roadway.
