This is where Dr. Dyott located his drug warehouse in 1810.This area has completly changed from when I-95 was added in 1970.
Running north to south all the way to the right is the Delaware river with its peers and bulkheads.You can see boats tied down in neat rows.
Today this area is the Northern extent of Penns Landing.Running along the top of the picture is the Ben Franklin Bridge.
Notice how the present day Race steet is still there just shifted north of where I show the original steet running towards the river.

Here is an aerial photo showing how close Dyottville in Kensington and his drug warehouse properties in Philadelphia were.
All of the area between the two towns was originally farmland.There was a dirt stage road leading from Philadelphia to Kennsington in 1810.

I'd love to get my hands on one of those "Godfrey Cordials" for obvious reasons... I wonder what could be found in the Delaware River near those glass houses? Do you think the water is all mucky, no visibility.. polluted type water or relatively clean? Be an interesting road trip.

Wayne you would probably find more bodies that have went missing from the South Philly Mob than you would bottles.
The only Godfrey you would find would be Little Tony Godfrey[][]I do know of some places here in Southern New Jersey that could be
dived that would yeild quite a bit of colonial relics.
