Skating on Clifton Pond, 1947
Posted on March 5, 2015 | in Uncategorized | by MCC Servers
Barbara Horrell, 11, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Horrell, Greta Kelly, 10, and Charles Kelly, 7, the children of County Patrolman and Mrs. Leo Kelly, tried ice skating on a snow-covered Clifton pond in February 1947. Clifton Pond was in Clifton Heights subdivision, which was platted about 1900 between the city of Lexington and the A&M College of Kentucky (now UK). The Lexington subdivision was razed in the 1990s for the construction of UK’s W.T. Young Library. Herald-Leader Archive Photo
