Historic Photos of North Chesapeake
City, part 18
George “Reds” Gorman outside of his general store and
service station, on Biddle Street, across from Collins’ store, circa 1951.
Another view of Gorman’s store and station. He sold
wonderful hand-dipped ice cream. Eleanor Benson Northrup told me her husband,
Ralph, helped Mr. Gorman in his store the day the Chesapeake City lift bridge
was hit by the freighter, Franz Klassen. She said that he came home that night
with sore wrists from dipping so much ice cream for the many visitors who came
to see the bridge destruction.
Collins’ Market at the 400 Block of Biddle Street in circa
1970 – Miriam Carlton Ohrel worked for Mr. Lewis Collins, Sr. for years. Note
town’s first ambulance. Photo courtesy of Lewis Collins, Jr.
