"Bridge Crossing Neshaminy Creek, Bridgewater, PA. 1909"
This image was cut from the original sheet compiled by Furman Miles. In this image, a bridge is across the Neshaminy Creek from Croydon to Bensalem Township. Bridgetown was a portion of Bensalem Township. The trolley on the bridge traveled from Philadelphia to Morrisville via Bristol. The road is US Route 13. The trolley was renamed in 1932 and a Neubauer Bus Route was established. The old bridge pictured was renamed and by the 1940s a new Bridge was constructed. -
