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.

Hamilton has a rich history, with magnificent structures, fascinating people, and interesting events playing such an intriguing role in its growth, but, as it lives up to its name as the Ambitious City, so much of what made Hamilton so unique is now long gone, just a memory for even longtime residents.
In this third volume in the Vanished Hamilton series, local historical societies have come together to highlight some of the captivating, wonderful and unique things - now vanished - that helped make Hamilton such a fascinating place to live.
In Vanished Hamilton III, 19 authors bring back memories of the Mills China Shop, one of the last blacksmiths, Hamilton's ornate yacht club, the five and dime store, the Good Deed Radio Club, old schools, early churches and much, much more.
As in the previous two volumes, readers will find memories of the past coming alive as they re-live Hamilton of another era.
