It was still there when the Hindle&#8217;s acquired the property but rot had already weakened it, so much so that it fell. It is said that proper way to dispose of the remains is\u00a0 to burn them close to where it stood. So it was. A good way to dispel the spirits!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Neil and Barbara Hindle, a few of us &#8211; pand\u00e9mie oblige &#8211;\u00a0 had the opportunity to witness the burning. They also provided me with a bunch of pictures from a left over album by the Tildens. Add a few pictures of the recent burning, the totem pole and the carver and there&#8217;s the material for a new Gallery (below).<\/p>\n<style
