[Box car filled with refrigerators for Clarence W. Winter’s store on Mill Street at Wood Street]
This was at the Pennsylvania Railroad freight yard at Pond and Mulberry Streets. Clarence Winter attended Bristol Borough schools. He and his friend Charles Strumfels went fishing in the Delaware River near Bristol in 1914. They caught a fish weighing 330 pounds and was 8 feet 6 inches long. The roe of the fish sold for $200 to a New York City restaurant. Clarence Winter operated a store at Mill and Wood Streets that sold kitchen appliances. He also sold Buick cars in a building behind the Mill Street store. -

[Bridge erected over the former Delaware Canal, opened in 2003]
It had once carried the railroad tracks route between Philadelphia and New York via Bristol until 1911. The bridge was replaced and the original sides were retained, but do not bear weight. Old Route 13 currently passes over the bridge. The red brick structure is the former Grand Theater, which opened in 1928 to replace the much smaller Forest Theater at that location. In 2003, when this photograph was taken, Arnold’s Office Furniture Store was there, later becoming Discover Learn & Grow Early Learning Center. -
