Hagley Museum

A small photo of the chain bridge on an overcast day with the Lehigh River running high.

Located on West Washington Street

This is a rather typical slate quarry scene. This postcard was part of a small booklet of photos, Souvenir of Slatington, Penna. and Vicinity, sold by Jones Bros & Miller. These photos also appeared as regular, individual postcards.

This was a pretty complex operation as evidenced by all the supporting buildings.

Note the width of the canal at this point.

Scene is from the north side of Lehigh Gap, looking south through the gap towards Slatington.
