Trembath Bay Half a dozen houses in the village of Cartwright will have new street addresses, follow-ing the proclamation of “Trem-bath Bay”. These houses on the north side of town, were built on the hill, along a back lane. Since the advent of provincial emergency services, describing these addresses, so they could be found in an emergency, has been a problem. The naming of the U-shaped loop from Laugh-lin Street and back will solve this issue. This is the first “Bay” in Cart-wright’s streets, and it is named after a venerable old local fam-ily. Merlin Trembath, who was the waterworks foreman for the village years ago, lived along this stretch, in the house now owned by Raymond and Gaye Cavers.

Some of the homes that will have new street addresses now that the back lane has been transformed into “Trembath Bay”. Back in the early 1900s, the hill was chosen for the location of these houses, as the north end of their property sloped down, and there was a barnyard right across Bond Street at the bottom of the yards.Before the houses, in the 1890s, a cheese factory topped the hill.

New signs are up to mark Trembath Bay, which heads north from Laughlin Street, up the back lane behind Badger Creek Lodge, around the top of the hill, and back to Laughin.
