THE PRINTS OF KING
 by Gary Evans

It's long, stretching from the McMaster campus right through Stoney Creek.

It's old, dating back to the very roots of the community.

It runs right through the heart of the city.

And it's home - or has been - to many of Hamilton's finest buildings, grand churches, various hotels, old schools, several parks, as well as countless stores.

Of course it's King Street!

There are photographs from one end of the street to the other, with old buildings, street scenes, buildings long gone, and a look at parts of the street from the air.

The photographs show a vibrant street, one which has evolved over the years, one filled with 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.

MEMORIES OF WENTWORTH
By Gary Evans

It no longer exists, erased from the landscape with the stroke of a pen, but so many people still have such vivid memories of the old County of Wentworth and its many communities which spread out and surrounded what was in earlier days known as the Head-of-the-Lake.

This book is filled with old photos, including the Incline Railway, Saltfleet High School, old street scenes and communities.

Today, while the names and identities of the historic communities have been preserved, those living in the former Wentworth County have fond memories.

And yes, they all live in Hamilton today, but try telling that to the loyal residents of those historic communities clustered around the Head of the Lake. For them, they’re still at home in Wentworth County.
