Bakenessergracht (pass by)

Bakenes was originally a spit of land southeast of the center of Haarlem, almost enclosed by a bend in the Spaarne. The name is probably derived from nes (nose) and refers to the shape of the headland, on which a beacon for the ships would have stood.[2] In the 14th century this area came to lie within the city limits of Haarlem; previously the Bakenessergracht was the border of Haarlem. In the 1930s there were plans to fill in the canal. This was prevented by, among other things, the efforts of the Rijnlandsche Academy, founded by Harry Prenen and Godfried Bomans.
