At 7 m. is the junction with Albion Rd.
Right 1 m. on this road is the village of ALBION (alt. 130), one of the several manufacturing centers in the Blackstone Valley that have made Cumberland township noted for textiles. In Albion is a plant of the Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates, Inc. The mill population, as is also the case in Manville, is predominately French-Canadian.
