Coldengham/Coldenham
There still is a town of Coldenham near the Colden ruins although it doesn't consist of much more than the intersection of Coldenham Rd. and Rte. 17k. The most obvious traces of the family name are the Coldenham Fire Department and the Colden Manor, a banquet facility located at the traffic light. There were a few guys working on a car in the parking lot of the Fire Department and after taking pictures of the gleaming row of trucks, I asked them where the name Coldenham had come from. They didn't seem to know but one of them said there was something going on further down 17k and I should keep a look out for a big green sign. It's always interesting how names are absorbed into a community and while some people are interested in preserving local history, others are living their lives, in their town, no matter what the name.
