When we were going through some files recently we found some mysterious photos. They are black and white, mounted on cardboard, and have no date or description. We’re fairly certain that they are photos of Manayunk, but we’re having trouble pinpointing their locations. Can you help us out?
Please comment after the break with your ideas.
Our Manayunk Mystery Photos
The most mysterious photo. We cannot figure out what street this is.
Along the Manayunk Canal. You can see a truck in the distance that may help to date the photos.
Somewhere along the Manayunk Canal.
We are 99% sure that this is St. John the Baptist at Cresson and Rector Streets,
I have been in the Manayunk/Roxborough area for over 10 years now, and I may have your answers:
1. Boone Street Stairwell (by Roxborough Ave & Tower St)
2. Manayunk Canal (1/2 way down Main St)
3. Manayunk Canal (behind Manayunk Brewing Company)
4. St. John the Baptist, Manayunk (you can see this church from 76 East/West).
Hope that helps you out.
Best,
Tim Garrity
