Review:
Fricks Locks Historic District, better known as Frick's Lock is an abandoned village near Pottstown, Chester County, Pennsylvania. It is located along the long abandoned Schuylkill Canal. The 18th-century village was abandoned in the late 20th century after the construction of the nearby Limerick Nuclear Power Plant. The village, spread on about 18 acres of a private land, is listed as a historic district by the National Register of Historic Places. This modern ghost town today consists of around ten buildings that are standing vacant and there is currently a joint effort between the local community and the power plant to have the buildings restored.
