Product Overview

In 1824, the completion of the Schuylkill Canal gave birth to Spring City and the opening of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad in Royersford soon followed. Over the years, the "twin boroughs" grew simultaneously, sharing the community and industrial developments that their respective transportation hubs fostered. Spring City and Royersford, through more than two hundred vintage postcards, shares the history of these sister towns: the stove factories, glassworks and knitting mills that were found on both sides of the river; the floods, fires and train wrecks that the towns endured; and the bridges, schools and celebrations that help unite the two communities.
  • William C. Brunner moved with his parents to Spring City in 1958, he graduated from Spring-Ford Area High School in 1962
  • Contains 200 black and white images
