You guessed it Danvers: this week's hidden vintage location is the former lumber yard now known fondly as Pope's Landing.
This shot, from Danvers' Postcard Historical Series is described as a late nineteenth century view of the remnants of the wharves and wood and coal sheds on the bank of the Crane River.
Readers M. McDonald and Mike Skinner commented that they used to go swimming here.
"It's off Liberty St. by the Danvers River...I used to jump off that old lumber yard roof into the river in 1960...the good ole days," Skinner said.
Do you have fond memories from this Danvers landmark? Be sure to let us know in the comments.

We grew up on Liberty St. My brothers and sister used to swim there in the 50's. I was younger at the time so Sandy Beach was more my speed. However, I recognized the scene right away. My grandson could hardly believe that that was once right across the street from where I live now. Bought my house in 1965 and was able to enjoy all the changes as they took place around me.
