Hulstemolenstraat

Street that runs in an easterly direction from the level crossing with the railway line to the Brugsesteenweg, and thus forms part of the route that follows the ridge and cuts through the municipality in an east-west direction. Downhill from the intersection with the Rijksweg to the east. Described in the 17th-18th century as "the street from Lendelede to the Walleghem meulen". L.g. mill was located on the territory of Hulste. Also often called the "straete leading from St-Baefs-Vyfve naer Lendelede". On a map of the rent book of "'t Gryspersche" (1642) the first part of the street is described as "straete van Lendele nar themerijck". Shown on a map of the tithe book of St. Martin's Abbey of Tournai (ca. 1645) with scattered farm buildings.
In the middle of the 19th century, the street from "De Hoogte" is called by its current name and described as "chemin de Lendelede à Hulste", cf. Atlas der Buurtwegen (1847). The part of the street from the railway line is still part of "den steenweg" from Lendelede to Hulste, which continued over the Harelbeeksestraat and the Hulstsestraat. In 1750-1751 the Kortrijk-Bruges road was built, which ran to the west just outside Lendeleed's territory. Throughout the 18th century, the village remained fairly isolated, which is why the construction of a direct connection between the village square and the road to the east was started. In 1783 Lendelede started the construction of the "calsijde" at his own expense, but it was not until 1820 that the municipal road would be completed. From 1843 tolls were levied, a barrier was placed at the inn "De Hoogte". The toll remained in force until 1894. In the first decade of the 20th century, the street was paved with gravel. At the intersection with the Harelbeeksestraat, at "De Hoogte", there used to be a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Christians, indicated on the Ferraris map (1770-1778).
Residential and agricultural function. Scattered farmsteads, some of which date back to at least the 18th century, cf. on Ferraris map (1770-1778); at nos. 83 and 97 already buildings are shown on maps with the tithe book of the Saint Martin's Abbey from Tournai (ca. 1645) and with the rent book of the seigneury "Tollenaers" (1732). Nos. 10-12, two-family house appearing on a primitive cadastral plan (ca. 1830). Around the middle of the 19th century, a stable volume was added to the eastern house, and to the southeast the current country building appeared, indicated in the land registry as a "warehouse". Both were commissioned by manufacturer/trader Fideel Feys. In 1886 a "biscuit breaking" was also erected to the east (disappeared). Single-storey building in red brick construction under a gable roof, side façade with wickerwork and sealed oculus, new street façade with new wall openings. Adjacent stable area under lower ridge converted into a residential extension. Rear country buildings under gable roofs (eternite plates, ridges perpendicular to the street): 19th-century barn in red brick construction with basket-arched barn gate flanked by newer gate, rounded corner and side wall with wickerwork and ash holes. Parallel extension under parallel ridge from the interwar period in dark red brick construction with rectangular wall openings. Nr. 83, historic farm "in Tollenaers", at least ascending to the 17th century, so-called after the oldest known owner of the seigneury of the same name. Currently consisting of a yard with the farmhouse with lower stable on the east side and the parallel imposing barn on the west side. Both volumes in red brick construction under steep gable roofs (ridges perpendicular to the street, house in smothered Flemish tiles, barn in mechanical). Side walls with braiding, at the barn also with large central carved buttress and sealed ash holes. On the south side of the house, a later stall has been added under a lower ridge (Flemish tiles), including an attic window with drip moulding. The house and barn are now equipped with new yard facades with modified wall openings and later extensions. No. 97, farm "'t Dossenaerken", now with renovated farmhouse and new utility buildings, shown on the Ferraris map (1770-1778) as an L-shaped constellation within a square moat.
Later farms dating back to the 19th century, including no. 14, a farm consisting of two separate farm buildings (farmhouse-stable and barn) with a constellation dating back to the first half of the 19th century, cf. on Atlas der Buurtwegen (1847). Was located south of a country road called "De Hooge weg". Now with a new house and barn, the 19th-century whitewashed barn-stable volume under a gable roof in Flemish tiles is still partly preserved, west side façade with round-arched attic window above which drip moulding and closed oculus. Nr. 16, "ter Draefs", so-called after the seigneury to which the farm belonged. New farm buildings. House already depicted on this site in 1847, cf. Atlas of Neighbourhood Roads. Presumably new house at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century. Renovation of the house and construction of a new barn in 1936 by order of merchant Camiel Descheemaeker. Tall white-painted single-storey brick farmhouse of four bays under gable roof in mechanical tiles. Renewed large rectangular window openings. Stepped brick frieze. Perpendicular to this is a brick barn-stable volume under a gable roof in mechanical tiles, rectangular wall openings under concrete lintels.
Remaining 19th- or early 20th-century, mostly renovated, single-storey buildings in dark red brick construction under gable or mansard roofs (ridge parallel to the street). Nos. 32-36: bordered with mouse-tooth frieze, three dwellings of three bays, middle dwelling as an extension with modified wall openings. No. 36 ditto with the addition of the second storey.

Nos. 25-29, converted and/or renewed single-storey building, including the addition of a second storey. No. 1, corner building with Groeningebergstraat, recently replastered, mansard roof in mechanical tiles, sloping door bay rising into skylight. Nos. 86-90, three two-storey dwellings, probably early 20th century. Central house still with arched wall openings and façade anchors, low second storey.
