PRINTS OVER HAMILTONBy Gary EvansWhile most photographers have had their feet planted firmly on the ground when taking images of Hamilton, others have sought out a completely different perspective when photographing the city over the years.Many of these photographers have taken to the sky, taking fascinating photographs looking down on the city.Most of the photographs in this book were taken by photographers flying high over the city, but others climbed to the top of the old city hall building, or the Pigott building, offering a closer view of the landscape.There's photographs of Clappison's Corners before traffic lights controlled this busy intersection, the old B-Hive restaurant, bridges, neighbourhoods and old buildings in downtown Hamilton.Prints Over Hamilton is filled with nostalgia, a book that offers readers a chance to explore the city from a most different perspective.103 pages, soft cover. MEMORIES OF WENTWORTHBy Gary EvansIt 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.
