DE OUDE LYNBAEN YS MYN NAEM

(MY NAME IS THE OLD ROPE-WALK)
Middenweg 104 Middenbeemster
 

Because lots of rope were needed for the ships
there were many rope- walks in the neighbourhood of the towns
where de Dutch East Indian Company had his harbours.
The farm still bears the name of the old rope-walk that was there in the old days.
