[Parking lot and Auto Boys Store (right) after a flood of the Delaware River]
In August 1955 the Delaware River overflowed and the Mill Street parking lot was flooded. This lot has originally been the site of the Canal Basin which operated between Bristol and Easton (1830-1931) to transport anthracite coal. The house in the background was that of the lock tender and the second lock was located there. The building to the right (then Auto Boys Store) was on the site of Bristol’s first saw and grist mill started by Samuel Carpenter in 1701. The two buildings are no longer standing. -
