And the house would have been near a gully where one could see “uphill and downhill.” This gully is now the site of Belfield Avenue ; it was formerly a creek called Wingohocking Creek. There was a station right near the Rock House [also called Wingohocking]; this was demolished in 1930 when the Reading Railroad elevated its tracks.
