An interesting shot of the buildings that once lined Main St. A strange period post new City Hall construction but before the Civic Square project got under way. Similarly, a pic of James North post-City Hall but pre-Eaton's expansion. The fire of the Royal Hotel, too.
April 6, 1951, thousands of onlookers jammed Gore Park to witness ceremonies when the old streetcar made its symbolic final run. Streetcar tracks were ripped up in a massive road works project that lasted for years.

Another big Hamilton bottling brand was Pilgrim - from the turn of the century. If you can find those bottles you can date them within a few years based on the logo and name as they changed names frequently.
It's terrible that I'd almost forgotten about the Thistle Club - took me a moment to recognise that photo. I was inside only once, just before it closed. It was tired and in need of some serious love. It should have been designated.
