Ellwood, Ottawa

[6] The post office was located just south of Ledbury on Bank Street[5] and was operated by Jane Cutts (1846-1923) in the general store that she and her son George ran, which dated back to the 1870s.

A small railway station existed on the north side of Walkley Road, west of Bank Street where a shopping centre now stands.

The station was the scene of a four-car derailment on January 21, 1922 which claimed the life of engineer Howard Edward White and left twelve passengers hospitalized.

Around the start of World War II, a dance and reception hall named the Right Spot Inn was built on the corner of Ledbury Avenue and Bank Street and lasted for about 10 years.

As a result of the Greber Plan, the original village was expropriated in 1949 and 1950 to make room for the Walkley Railway Yards, the Bank Street overpass and a never built federal parkway.
