Ended hike here
18 miles 5 short of goal ☹️

The Strawberry Mansion Bridge was built in 1896–1897 by the Phoenix Iron Company, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, under private ownership by the Fairmount Park Transportation Company, which operated trolleys over the bridge, with pedestrian and carriage lanes on the north side. Trolley service was discontinued in 1946.

The Philadelphia Historical Commission designated the bridge as a historic structure on September 7, 1978.Okumaya devam et

Manayunk
5 Eylül 2020, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
My lunch (and what turned out to be - final) break on the Manayunk Canal Towpath

Opened nearly two hundred years ago, in 1819, the Manayunk Canal was a key link in the hundred mile long Schuylkill Navigation system. Built to bring coal to the coastal cities and ports by way of canal barge, the waterway was soon overshadowed by the network of railroads then being built. After peaking in the 1850s, traffic on the canal dwindled each year with the final commercial boat passing in 1922.Okumaya devam et

Betzwood Studios
5 Eylül 2020, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
Betzwood Studios werefounded by movie pioneer Siegmund Lubin.
D. W. Griffith filmed the first movie ever shot in Hollywood in 1910, but studios were not built there until 1913, long after Lubin had established himself in the Philadelphia area in 1898.
In 1912 Lubin bought the Montgomery County estate of brewer John Betz and began to develop Betzwood.
One of the films shot here was 1914 The Servant Girl’s Legacy- the earliest surviving film of Oliver Hardy
