Chichester Historical Society
Marden, Trap Road
By
Walter Sanborn
The last article described the East Ricker Road running
from Bear Hill Road to the Chichester Road in Loudon thus East Ricker Road
being partially in Chichester and Loudon.
Across from the East Ricker Road at the Chichester end is the beginning
of the Ricker Road in Loudon that extends southerly to the Pembroke line
near the Soucook River.
The Chichester and Loudon town line runs parallel to the Ricker Road
about 500 feet east of the road in the woods. As you travel south on the
Ricker Road you come to a cross road with the Staniels Road on the right and
Harvest Road on the left both in Loudon. If you turn left on the
Harvest Road and travel about 500 feet you will again be in Chichester with
the Harvest Road ending at the King Road in Chichester. There are two
short roads leading off of Harvest Road called Gurnsey Road and Holstein
Road. These names have no significance to the history of Chichester but were
chosen by the developer who built them.
As you turn left onto Harvest Drive from Ricker Road at about 500 feet
you will see the town line sign and looking straight ahead beside a stone
wall you will see the remains of the old Marden Road that led to the Marden
farm about one half mile from Ricker Road. This farm was owned by the
family of Nathan Marden and the farm burned in 1892 but was rebuilt that
year. Fifty years later in 1942 it was struck by lightning and burned
again and was never rebuilt and the road was discontinued. A picture
and story about this farm is contained in the book Chichester Articles.
Although this road only went to the old Marden Farm some maps show the road
continuing out to the Dover Road where Philips Auto is today. This was
never a town road beyond the Marden Farm but it was another short cut for a
horse and wagon.
As you continue south along the Ricker Road about a quarter mile you
will come to the Trap Road on your left. This road connects up with
the Dover Road at the Trap. The Loudon end has no houses on it so is
not maintained by Loudon.
Beginning at the town line the Chichester section of road is maintained
by the town as there are several houses on it. This is called the Trap
Road and refers to that section of the town which is described in the book
Chichester Articles.
I occasionally refer to articles in the book “Chichester Articles”
printed and sold by the Chichester Historical Society which has many stories
and history about Chichester previously written and put into a book.
This book is available at our museum for $19.95 and contains 235 pages of
Chichester articles and pictures.
In my next article I will continue on the history of the remaining roads
in the town of Chichester, many of which I have described before. The
next article will be about roads extending off of Horsecorner Road.
