[7001 Riverview Avenue, Bristol, PA, Bob Wood with shovel]
Jo and Bob Wood Property owners. All photographs were taken on their property in front of their house. They were interested in learning what the purpose of the hole in the ground represented. The hole was outside of the house about 20 feet from the Delaware River. After examination it was guessed that it could have had something to do with water/toilet drainage from their house. The house is located about 25 feet from the hole. It may have been a cesspool for receiving drainage or sewage from within the house. One of the strongest clues that was found in the hole was a round clay pipe that was probably used as a sewer pipe. -
