Burlington Ontario has undergone many changes over the years. From the tiny village of Wellington Square to the vibrant city we know and love today. To see the Burlington we used to have, we plan on having a Then & Now section as well as a collection of old Burlington photographs. Please feel free to add any old photographs or postcards that you may have!

The caption reads: Workers stitch test flare parachutes in the second floor sewing room of the T.W. Hand Fireworks Co. plant (inset) on Caroline Street at Clark Avenue. About 50 women, and two men, worked at the plant from early 1942 until sometime near the end of the Second World War. It later became the first Susan Shoe Co. factory.

Knox Presbyterian Church in Burlington is celebrating its 180th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion Burlington author Gary Evans has published a new book, Knox Burlington, which contains a number of photographs found buried deep in various archives.

One of the photographs is shown here, taken almost 100 years ago with some of the more obvious changes including a different roadbed and lots of mature trees around the property.

In a photograph that dates back some 125 years, four men can be seen fishing along the Burlington pier. That’s the old swing bridge in the background while near the lighthouse is the original Royal Hamilton Yacht Club building, which burned to the ground in 1915.

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

When this photograph of the Kilbride general store in north Burlington was taken in 1950, it had already been in operation for nearly 100 years.

At one time, when Kilbride was at the centre of activity for the area, the store was so busy that six clerks were employed and on the upper floor, a tailor shop and millinery department were in full operation.

From the out-of-print book The Prints of Burlington -

It was obviously a long ago era, long before Brant Street was paved when this photograph was taken.

There is no date for this photo but it does show the Burlington Gazette newspaper office, the old Raymond Hotel, and Williamson Furniture and Undertaker.

Further up the street is the Queen's Hotel, later known as the Queen's Head.
