Ken Finkel over on the Philly History Blog gives a profile of the Frankford Creek and the reasons why it was converted into a channel in the early 20th century. He also points out the remains of Tremont Mills at the corner of Wingohocking and Adams. We did a before and after of this interesting building in 2009.
Interestingly, he points out a photo with a wide view of the Creek taken in 1912 that is claimed to be at the corner of Dungan and Lycoming streets.
This looks to me to be on Wingohocking near Castor looking down. I’d love for someone to weigh in here.
