Rozebeeksestraat

Description

Road that starts in the center as an extension of the Kasteelstraat and runs to the Heirweg in the east of the municipality, crossing the Rijksweg and the railway line along the way. Mentioned in 1784 as "straete commende van Roosebeke naer Lendelede". Is referred to on the Atlas der Buurtwegen (1847) as "Oostrozebekestraat", from 1978 called "Rozebeeksestraat". In the first decade of the 20th century, the street was paved with gravel, and paved around the middle of the 20th century.
In 1430 "eene molenwech" is mentioned, indicating the existence of a mill on Lendeleed's territory. The "Plaatsemolen", sometimes also called "Oost Lendelé meulen", is located within the village lordship and was situated along the Rozebeeksestraat (south side, t.h.v. no. 34). The open stake mill was used as a grist mill. The mill is mentioned in the Twentieth Penningcohieren from 1571, and described in 1700 as: "eenen cooren windtmeulen met syne belonged, huijs ende scheuren stood in the selve prochie van Lendelede, wat oost van de Kercke". In 1803 the mill is still owned by the last lord of Lendelede, baron de la Grange. In 1877 the Plaatsemolen was demolished.
Already in 1883 (map Institut Cartographique Militaire) there was a crucifix at no. 34, the "Plaatsmolenkruis" or "Gheysens' Kruis". The cast iron cross placed on a pillar of the garden wall of no. 34 disappeared ca. 1960-1962, perhaps together with the demolition of the house. Also at no. 76 there was a cross, the "Vermeersch' Kruis", mounted against a stable façade along the street side. The crucifix was not yet indicated on the map of the Institut Cartographique Militaire (late 19th century) and disappeared during the construction of the National Highway in 1962. The above map also shows a chapel at the junction with the railway line, at no. 123, now gone. In 1928, a roterij ("roterij Verbeke") was founded at no. 59. In 1930 cinema "Concordia" was created for no. 3, which lasted until the early 1970s (cf. Kasteelstraat).
Street with mainly residential and agricultural function. On historical maps there are scattered farm buildings between the Meikapelstraat and the Heirweg, among others to no. 123, cf. tithe book of the lordship of Schardauwe from 1724. No. 125, farm "Ten Aerde", deeper farm depicted on the Atlas der Buurtwegen (1847), brick volumes under gable roofs, with renewed house and stable and barn oriented at right angles to it.
