THE PRINTS OF ALDERSHOT
by Gary Evans

There is something very special about Aldershot. It's an area rich in history, and fabled for its market gardens. Its amusement park attracted thousands of visitors.

The waters of the bay were clean, clean enough for a swim on a hot summer's day.
It was a small community, growing at a slow pace, maturing year by year, but not caught up in the development crush of nearby communities.

There is a series of aerial shots which show Aldershot of another era, but which help plot its growth into the 21st century. Other photographs offer a rare glimpse at Wabasso Park, with its roller coaster and swimmers enjoying a dip in the cool waters of Burlington Bay.

The Prints of Aldershot is a fascinating rare collection of old photographs, photographs which will stir up a lot of 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.
