VANISHED SERIES
Burlington & Hamilton
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.

VANISHED HAMILTON
Edited by Margaret Houghton
Everyone has their own special memories, particularly of people, events and places from the past. Quite often those memories are all that we have left as the people are gone, the events are over and the places have vanished. Some of those things that have vanished are now not even in the living memories of anyone left today.
Hamilton has always been a city of things that are unusual, fascinating and often quite unique. Many of the local historical societies have come together in this book to highlight some of the strange, weird and wonderful things, no longer with us, that have helped to make us what we are today.
Gone but certainly not forgotten are such Hamilton landmarks as the Incline Railway, the B-Hive Restaurant, the Sunken Garden, the Gore Park Washrooms and the Shorty Green.
Vanished Hamilton takes us on a tour through Hamilton's past, both recent and long ago, to give us a unique perspective on the history of the city we all call home.
