Staniels And Bailey Road


By Walter Sanborn
There are two roads left that run off of Horse Corner Road which I will include in this article. As you continue on Horse Corner Road it is all down hill until it meets Dover Road. About a half mile down Horse Corner Road from Garvins Hill Road is the junction of Bailey Road on the right and Staniels Road on the left.


Bailey Road runs between Horse Corner Road and Dover Road where the miniature golf course now exists. Up until the 1950’s there were no houses on this road and was little used.  In the 1936 flood the bridge over the Soucook River on Dover Road washed out eliminating all East and West traffic over the Soucook River.

 
At this time the original Horse Corner Road extended from Chichester into Pembroke by the Alvin Moses farm and down Mill Hill over an old iron bridge over the Soucook River and joined Dover Road in Concord where Gateway Gardens is now located.


While the new bridge over the Soucook River was being built the State Highway Department detoured all the East and West traffic on Dover Road over the old iron bridge on Horse Corner Road up the Horse Corner Road and down  Bailey Road to rejoin Dover Road in Chichester. This detour continued until a new bridge on Dover Road was rebuilt.


When the new Interstate 393 was built Horse Corner Road was relocated to join the Dover Road on the East side of the Soucook River where it now exists.  At this time the West end of the old Horse Corner Road was discontinued and the iron bridge over the Soucook River was removed.


As there were no houses on Bailey Road and no one by that name in that area presently, it is unknown how this road acquired the name Bailey Road.


Just a few hundred feet beyond Bailey Road to the left off Horse Corner Road is Staniels Road heading South into Pembroke.  Staniels Road crosses  North Pembroke Road and beyond there becomes  Burrough Road in Pembroke.  There were two families of Staniels who lived on this road in the early days from whence the road acquired the name Staniels Road. This road is partly paved but ends up as a dirt road to the Pembroke line.


Where Staniels Road joins  Horse Corner Road once stood the barn where the horse was discovered left in the barn by a stranger and is the location where the name Horse Corner acquired its name.


Next time will be the history of West road.
