From the book The Prints of Aldershot -

Although their roots were solidly in Hamilton, the Hendrie family was very much a part of Aldershot for many years. The Hendries were leading industrialists, one was lieutenant-governor of Ontario, and they raced some of the fastest horses of the day.

The family owned 122 acres of farmland in Aldershot, land that was donated to the city of Hamilton in 1931 and then transferred to the RBG and is now known as Hendrie Park.

This rare photograph shows the Hendrie farmhouse on Plains Road near the RBG with its huge ornate veranda and balcony.

From the book Vanished Hamilton -

Photograph of the Valley Inn from about 1905.

The inn was located on a busy road from Hamilton through Burlington and then on to Toronto, busy that is until about 1927 when the bridges along Highway 2 at Wolfe Island and the Rock Garden were completed.

The inn was vacated in 1928 and badly damaged in a fire that same year.

From the book More of First Here -

Hamilton's CKOC noted for recording many radio firsts.
Most of us take for granted that when we turn on the radio, we will be greeted with the sounds of music, news and current affairs programming. Back in 1922, radio was a new and exciting invention.

The CBC's national radio network was still 10 years away so, as a listener in Canada, the only listening choices were CFCF in Montreal, CFCA in Toronto and U.S. stations.

Hamilton businessman Herbert Slack pieced together his first home-made five-watt radio transmitter and through this, located at northwest corner of John and King William streets was broadcasting two hours of daily music and commentaries.

By 1932, 10 years into its operation, CKOC was broadcasting from several rooms atop the Royal Connaught Hotel and its 1,000-watt signal could be heard throughout the Golden Horseshoe.

Shown here, a CKOC technician mans the controls for the on-air host in the sound booth.

Perfect weather and large crowds combined to help make this year's Rockton World's Fair one of the best ever.

Here, spectators take in one of the horse shows.

From the out-of-print book Memories of Burlington -

Located just a couple of blocks from Burlington's downtown area, Elizabeth Street was a very mature neighbourhood even back in 1915 when this photo was taken, looking north toward Caroline Street.

That's Burlington Methodist Church - later to become Trinity United, on the right.

The appearance of the street was changed dramatically in the 1960s when the church was torn down in favour of an apartment building.

From the book 1961 Hamilton:

Hamilton's old city hall, a fixture on James Street North since the late 1800s, is but a pile of rubble as seen here as the photographer gains a high up vantage point to shoot over Market Square and down King William Street.

The Lister Building can be seen on the far left of the photograph.

From the book 1960 Hamilton -

The roadways on the Mountain leave a lot to be desired as can be seen with this badly rutted area of Fennell Avenue east of Ottawa Street in April of 1960.

Even this bus has a difficult time in navigating the street, with the ruts and barriers creating a driver's nightmare.
