Westporters of a certain age remember Allen’s Clam House.
The the Hillspoint Road restaurant on the edge of Sherwood Mill Pond attracted generations of diners for 2 reasons: its seafood, and the view.
It fell into disrepair, was demolished, and now only memories remain. In its place, the Sherwood Mill Pond Preserve offers a spot for contemplation, bird- and nature-watching, and kayak launching.
It’s a hidden gem, in a well-traveled part of town.
How hidden? Only 3 readers — Andrew Colabella, Seth Braunstein, Jonathan McClure and Courtney McMahon — recognized the “Entrance” sign, for the small parking lot that was last week’s Photo Challenge. (Click here to see.)
It’s worth a visit, any time of year. But don’t tell anyone.
It’s our little secret.
What about this week’s challenge? If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.
