840 Longworth Road South - Longworth, BC
From Prince George take Highway 16 (Yellowhead Highway) east for 18.5 km and then turn left on the Upper Fraser Road. Keep going and cross the Upper Fraser River bridge and on the other side. Turn right onto Church Forest Service Road, which becomes Longworth Road. Continue approx. 22 km then turn left on Longworth Road South. The home is near the railway tracks on the right.
Longworth comprises scattered houses in a settlement between Sinclair Mills and Penny on the northeast side of the Fraser River in central British Columbia. Containing less than 15 permanent residents, a community hall, and former schoolhouse housing the post office, the location is a jumping-off point for outdoor recreational activities. Longworth Peak is the highest mountain in the Dezaiko Ranges and is prominent above the community.
Hiking is very big . . . the 6-hour hike to Longworth Lookout is spectacular.
Longworth, like Hutton to its northwest and Lindup to its southeast, was an original train station (1914) on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (the Canadian National Railway after nationalization). The name, a locational surname of Anglo-Saxon origin, deriving from any one of the places called "Longworth" in Berkshire, Herefordshire, or Lancashire, was probably selected from the list prepared by Josiah Wedgwood (submitted at the request of William P. Hinton, the railway's general manager).
Longworth lies at Mile 79.4, Fraser Subdivision (about Mile 169 during the line's construction). New arrivals for the Mile 172 camp and those passing through to Mile 166 (northwest of Lindup) often become lost on the forest trails.
Built in 1914, the standard-design Plan 100-152 (Bohi's Type E) station building was demolished in 1969. Longworth, and similarly isolated communities, unsuccessfully appealed when the Prince George-McBride way freight ceased operations in 1977. These crews, who knew everyone along the line, would often stop beside residents' homes, especially where heavy groceries needed carrying.
The remaining passenger shelter went in 1996.
