March 3 in our past: featuring Tomlin’s Creek
Creeks Woodbine-Coxwell 1918 
Tomlin’s Creek and the other lost streams of the east end, from a 1951 City of Toronto Engineer’s map Tomlin’s Creek began where springs ran out of the sand and gravel banks just west of Main Street and south of Benlamond. It is now a “lost creek”, rerouted into the City of Toronto’s sewer system. But it still exists as a ghost creek running as ground water along the ravine.
