The Smidshornerweg in Niekerk. The small bridge over the canal, visible in the foreground, leads to the farm of the Westers family. On the left, the former mayor’s residence. Three mayors of the former municipality of Oldekerk lived here, among others. These were A. Smallenbroek (from July 1962 to September 1971), J.K. Slomp (from March 1972 to October 1983) and K. Post (1983 to 1990), when the municipality of Oldekerk was incorporated into Grootegast. The house is currently occupied by the Van der Kooi family.
