Written by Strawbery Banke Archive   

Family in ox cart on Bow Street / Strawbery Banke ArchiveStrawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #68

The unpaved roads, cobblestone crosswalks, ox carts and ship masts are gone. Signs show the shops of Josiah S. James (flour and grain), Charles E. Boynton ("small beer"), John F. Shillaber (gunsmith) and George C. Wendell (blacksmith). The two wooden buildings, long missing from modern Bow Street were then carpenter and joiner shops located next to Eldredge’s Brewery office.
