1. Krommertstraat Marker
The street is named after the waterway De Krommert, a wide ditch that ran from the Kostverlorenvaart to the Molensloot, later renamed Admiralengracht. In 1959, the Krommert was filled in, and a playground, among other things, was built on the land. The photo shows flower shops and market gardens near the Krommert (later the Cornelis Dirkszstraat) with the Admiraal de Ruyterweg in the background.
Erected by Geef Straten Een Gezicht.
