In honour of Heritage Week 2013, members of the Scarborough Historical Society now have access to a rare (and out of print) book, available as a free download in the Members Area of our website as a PDF ebook file.
The password to access the members area has not changed from last year, but a reminder will be published in the next Society newsletter.
Only 500 copies of “History of Old Malvern” were printed in 1973, published on the occasion of the 116th year since the founding of Malvern.
The 56 page book was compiled and edited by Robert H. Eadie and the “Malvern Committee” of Mrs. Phyllis Busato, Mr. Wm. Robbins, and Mrs. Jamie McCowan.
This publication chronicles a first-hand glimpse into the everyday lives of the people of Old Malvern, and the places they frequented.
Residents of the modern Scarborough community know Malvern to be an immense neighbourhood centered near the intersection of Neilson Rd. & Tapscott Rd., but the name first thrived as a farming community centered further south west, at the crossroads village of Malvern, located at Sheppard Ave. & Markham Rd.
Old Malvern had changed from its rural farming roots when the book was published in 1973, and since then it has changed drastically, to the point where very little exists of the original settlement.
