Warkworth Journal Records
Furious Drivers
The Warkworth Journal, July 14, 1920 ~ The furious driving on our streets on Saturday evenings, by “smart alecs” from the country is a matter of much comment. When young men cannot drive through town, especially Saturday and Sunday evenings, without racing and acting like a lot of hobos, it is due time some official would bring the rowdies to justice or resign office.
Saturday Morning Accident
The Warkworth Journal, May 17, 1922, Warkworth & Vicinity ~ Saturday morning, when Mr. John Crookshanks’ horse started from the cheese factory and dashed into the village with a demolished trailing vehicle. The animal turned in the gate leading to Mr. C. Fowler’s home - one wheel missing a small boy by about three inches; and although there was plenty of space at the rear of Mr. Fowler’s home, it turned the corner of his house and jumped into his kitchen through the open door taking two wheels of the wagon with him. Very little harm was done in the kitchen, except the upsetting of a few minor house hold effects.
