IMAGES OF BURLINGTON
by Gary Evans
Images of Burlington is the 14th book in the highly popular Prints series of books, providing a nostalgic look back in time with a series of fascinating photographs at what Burlington used to look like - many years ago.
There are photographs of Burlington's downtown core from the 1950s, the long vanished Cedar Springs Ski Club, farmers loading fruit at the old train station, as well as rare photographs of old schools, churches and landmarks long gone.
Images of Burlington is also filled with memories, memories of a different sort of city, when the sounds of the Brant Inn could be heard along the lakeshore, or when traffic crawled along the beach highway, long before the opening of the Skyway Bridge. Plus there is a series of aerial photographs, taken many decades ago, photographs which offer a unique perspective of how Burlington has grown over the years.

THE PRINTS OF ALDERSHOT
by Gary Evans
There is something very special about Aldershot. It's an area rich in history, and fabled for its market gardens. Its amusement park attracted thousands of visitors.
The waters of the bay were clean, clean enough for a swim on a hot summer's day.
It was a small community, growing at a slow pace, maturing year by year, but not caught up in the development crush of nearby communities.
There is a series of aerial shots which show Aldershot of another era, but which help plot its growth into the 21st century. Other photographs offer a rare glimpse at Wabasso Park, with its roller coaster and swimmers enjoying a dip in the cool waters of Burlington Bay.
The Prints of Aldershot is a fascinating rare collection of old photographs, photographs which will stir up a lot of memories.

MEMORIES OF THE BEACH STRIP
By Gary Evans
It was a place of many things.
It was a great place to spend a holiday; a fascinating place to live; and a one of a kind place to have fun.
It was a special place to watch the ships sail into the harbour, and one of the best places anywhere
to hear the music of some of the world’s best entertainers.
It was a place to fish and to hunt, and a place to play. But foremost, it was a beach.
A special beach, just minutes from downtown Hamilton and a stone’s throw from the heart of Burlington, it was Burlington Beach to some, Hamilton Beach for others, and yet was also known as the Beach Strip or the Sand Strip.

VANISHED BURLINGTON
by Gary Evans
Burlington is a modern, vibrant city, and yet it is also a place with important links to the past. While much of that history vanished in time, it should not be forgotten, as the fabric of those buildings plays an important part in who we are today.
Vanished Burlington brings much of that early history back to life, reminding us about buildings, neighbourhoods, events and various landmarks that were once part of Burlington.
Vanished Burlington is filled with nostalgia, as some of the buildings are still within living memory, but have been erased from the landscape. Others brought fame and fortune to the community, but from generations past.
Readers will find stories about the Brant Inn, an old amusement park, the Neilson's sign, Burlington's fall fair, and long ago schools and churches. Memories will flood back with other stories about the Willowbank, the Tien Kue, even Trefoil Lodge, all included in Vanished Burlington, all offering a nostalgic look back in time.

BRANT INN MEMORIES
By Stewart Brown
In the 1930s, the little town of Burlington, Ontario, was noted, primarily in the farming community, as a market gardening area. During this period in time, Canada was in the midst of a world-wide depression. It was an unlikely place and an unlikely time for anyone to consider starting a business, particularly a venture into show business.
An impresario named John Murray Anderson saw the potential and turned a site on the shore of Lake Ontario into a nightclub that grew to be internationally renowned. The history of the Brant Inn was recognized within the Burlington Historical Society as a great story that should be fully told and preserved.
