Weird. I live off Oriole Crescent and didn't know that airport stretched that far.

I grew up on that street too!
A lot of stories and memories from that area!:cheers: |

I remember that old roundabout on the QEW at Highway 20(Centennial Pkwy).
|
What book or trade journal are these images from? Any information would be extremely helpful.

.... pics obtained in open library online texts at
www.archive.org .... in the search box type in anything to do with hydro such as pylons, transmission lines, ontario hydro etc. etc. then select... you can download the pdf of the book .... this is all for free and in public domain. |
Thanks, did some searching and found the books that the other hydro related images you posted came out of but not this particular volume. I see its from the Toronto Public Library. Would you happen to have the title of the book or perhaps have saved a copy?
I've been researching, visiting and documenting the 1910 line from Niagara-Dundas-Guelph as well as the old Toronto and Niagara Power Co. line that are pictured. |
The images without Figure #'s are from the 1913 book "Hamilton Canada: Its History, Commerce, Industries and Resources"

Found what I was looking for, thanks very much for your help.
|
Came across this one while searching for info on Hamilton's Trolley buses. It's a real gem. Even in 1983 Hamilton was still pretty awesome.
|
Interesting about the national advertisers on the sides of the buses which you don't really see today in Hamilton.
|
I remember riding on those buses as a kid around downtown Hamilton and they would sometimes spark, I always thought it was cool then. It's sad to see the clip in that video of the old Eatons on James Street, lots of memories...

time for a few more oldies....
Haven't posted any old or related photos for awhile.... found all these online and were traced to The Spec or library archives.
Here is a pic of the W.F.Fitzgerald moments after striking the bridge. She is backing up to enter the bay via the south channel. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...30-52-IB-3.jpg Aerial view.... part of Stelco 1953. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...Stelco1953.jpg The Stoney Creek Traffic Circle http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...qew-245_lg.jpg Heading down Hwy. 20 into Stoney Creek. Note the hydro line atop the cut. This was the first direct long distance transmission of power into Hamilton in 1898 from Decew Falls. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...wy20-21_lg.jpg King Street West (south side) between James & McNab. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...hamilton21.jpg One of the early locomotives used by Dofasco to shunt cars on their property. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/.../dofasco6b.jpg The Brant Inn viewed from the air. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...naerial934.jpg Building the Skyway Bridge http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...rian/aa-15.jpg Two views of First United Church the night after it burned to the ground.

(courtesy B. Laufman) John Dick ..... his wife Evelyn helped butcher him in '46 dumping his body on the mountainside.... you can find more than enough about her online. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...5176944533.jpg Another shot of the Brant Inn http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...-13_092613.jpg Dofasco.... the diagonal intersection lower part is Ottawa St & Beach Rd. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...an/1947-1b.jpg Even I remember this sign when they were building the Skyway... http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/...kyway-name.jpg |
