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, from Hamilton, Dundas and Toronto and beyond. Ferry boats lined up at the dock, waiting to unload passengers. 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. The Prints of Aldershot offers a rare collection of old photographs, photographs which will not only evoke memories of another era, but will take one back many decades to the pioneer days of the community. There are street scenes, pictures of historic houses, old churches and even class photographs. 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 collection of old photographs, photographs which will stir up a lot of memories.
