In Chester along Middlefield Road there is a set of stairs that go no where. When the Chester Roundhouse and Hamilton Corundum Factory was alive with workers, this is how they got there, over the West Branch of the Westfield River on a suspension bridge. Thanks to Dave Pierce for the historical photo.
