Strawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #69

Thirteen lucky riders perch on the crowded upper deck of this Concord coach from the Adams-Drake line. Accidents did happen. Visiting grocery store employees from Boston were thrown from a coach in North Hampton in 1890. Still, coaches flourished until the arrival of the trolley. This group is departing from the SW Foss boarding house in Rye.

HISTORIC PHOTOS of the Greater Portsmouth Area appear here weekly
