  • *Low-Res* Photo taken in the area of Arch and Lynn streets. This area was once widely known as the Edgewood section of Coal Township.
  • Arch Street and the Glen Burn Bank- Looks like the carnival is in town. Shown is Arch Street. Take note to the trolley barn that is still located on Arch Street across from Kelley Funeral Home.
  • A modern-day shot of Arch and Walnut streets as seen from Springfield. The Coal Township High School can be seen at center-right.
  • Uniontown- Also known as Tharptown, this village was named after the Goss and Tharp families that first settled here. As loving neighbors, they decided to call the area Uniontown. By the way, the family is taking in the view of Shamokin, something people still do today.
  • Mill Race at Tharptown.
  • (Oct. 1953) A view of Uniontown and the "northwest extension" of the Glen Burn Bank. Most of the bank has been reclaimed ever since the advent of better BTU burning technology.
  • Uniontown as seen from above the Brewery Curve. If you notice, Route 61 travels through the village, and not along Goss Hill (right). A new bridge at the Brewery Curve and a four-lane highway from the Wayside Inn to the upper-end of Tharptown were opened in 1967. <br /> <br /> NOTE- The Uniontown Grade School is also seen in the upper-left portion of the photo. This is now the location of the playground.
  • Another view, but this time higher and above Little Mountain, which divides Ralpho and Coal townships. Many things in this photo: Shamokin General Hospital at center-left, a natural land divide between two culm banks on the Glen Burn Bank, and two trains on separate lines just above the village.
  • Centre Street in Tharptown. The location of the "Maxwell" sign is the current location of Eighteenth Street.
