01:58 The Witches Grave!

It’s. Shea is pronounced Shay’s

I my daughter was born at st Joseph's so was I, so was my mother I went to st George. So did my uncle. I lived at 420 Grosvenor my grandmother around the corner on Thornton. My first girlfriend lived at Waterloo and Piccadilly in the house you showed. I broke the basket ball net they had up back in 1994. It's condos now, still live in the same hood love walking my streets.

Its pronounced Hewson not hugson

Most people watching this have a connection to Sarnia. Mispronouncing Vidal, Davis, Lochiel, Durand take away from the otherwise good compilation.

nothin to do but get drunk then and now

Hughson is pronounced Hewson.

Hamilton has many firsts and is NOW a thriving, although not perfect City!

Why don't we build like this anymore? Everything is so ugly. It's depressing. We've removed ourselves from nature and now we don't even build places that are pleasant to live in.

Nigel in Hamilton🇨🇦 Ontario CANADA i am in waiking distance of these neighborhoods

ive lived in hamilton my whole life, you provide lots of interesting history i never knew anything about 👍

Time for an update

I'm from Sarnia that was my grandparents hotel on front and Cromwell

The picture from January of 1952 of the Capital theatre in Sarnia with the sign “Greatest Show on Earth” has great significance for my many brothers and sisters and myself. It was the first movie my parents went to see on their first date. I’ll show this to my Mom this afternoon, she still lives on her at age 92 not more than then three blocks away from this theatre.

Benjamin, I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for all of your time/efforts it took to create these. They are certainly appreciated even if many don't take the time to comment/give feedback. There's fascinating history in each and every village, town, city. I hope one day you make more. Many people scoff at Hamilton, but are ignorant as to its importance in helping to literally build Ontario, and Canada as a whole with untold Billions of tons of steel from what were once 2 of the largest steel mills in North America. I love strolling Aberdeen Avenue and the surrounding leafy, tree lined, well landscaped side streets, the charming houses, and trying to get a feel of the history and it's retained sense of grandeur. Cheers 🍻

Nice job!🏦🏢🏗️

Nice Video and narrative. One thing of interest if you ever, is Paincourt, Grande Point. How did these outlying villages come to being.

At 9:21 the house was built by my great great grandfather William Percival 😊

Love the vintage postcard tour of an historic city!

This was great! ❤

Much better time a hundred and 30 yrs ago

The butthole of Ontario, do yourself a favor , avoid this cancer breeding shit hole

Awesome video!

When was the smoke stack district name coined? Been in London 20 years and only head of it when they painted the mural on the side of the Webster building

Thank you for this important historical visit, so nice to come back to an area spent a lot of time in with family.

I appreciate your video and narrative but your mispronunciation of place names is distracting. Hughson is pronounced Hewson. Royal Connaught is pronounced Connawt.

Downtown Hamilton is booming and going through a several billion dollar building blitz . The city always had amazing bones and was always underrated. Yes many treasures were lost unfortunately

Enjoyed watching this video of London and I learned the history of of my old neighborhood.I was born in St Joesph hospital and lived on Oxford St and Thornton Ave,our home was built in 1913. lwent to St George’s public school on WaterlooSt.I rented an apartment on Wellington Street across from the Anglican Church in a beautiful old Victorian home .I babysat for a family who lived in the stables which was converted into a home on St George street.I left London in 1979 and now that my parents have passed I was last there 2007.The city I grew up in has changed and so sad to see the forest city depreciate.

Sound is awful

It is no longer trinity

My great great great great great (goes on) grandpa discovered Sarnia, which is crazy to me for some reason._.

Videos are very informative, but you talk to damn fast for me to absorb all the info.

This is a potentially-interesting video. However, there is a problem with the signal-to-noise ratio of the audio track. From a communications point of view, the background music is noise. It interferes with hearing what you are saying and reduces the effectiveness of the video.

Thank you for giving me insight in the city that my family has been living in for over a century

A rich man from Dundas took a ride out to Springbank, he loosened his north belt and took off his oxfords to see what he aught to weigh and it was Normal.

Great show! My only criticism is that you should have done research on how to properly pronounce Hughson Street and the Connaught Hotel. Other than that, nice job!

With Hoses, buggy & rope ?

So to sum this up London continues to destroy amazing buildings that would have been so valuable to the tourist industry and cherished by Londoners

At 14:40 the old market building, I remember loving to go there as a child with my great Aunt and my grandmother, the butcher Kleebers (not sure of spelling) sold dried venison it was an amazing treat chewy delicious, Few years ago I visited Boston their downtown market is almost a replicate of our old market, it was a nostalgia trip for me back to my childhood, Smart of Boston to have not destroyed a cherished landmark that every visitor enjoys.

I wish our town still looked like this. Our history is insane

Great pictures but the narrator is obviously NOT from Hamilton as he can’t pronounce a lot of the landmark names and streets properly

Having lived in Chatham in the 60's and 70's this brings back so many memories. The architecture at Wellington and Fifth was definitely impressive.

If this spoke to the St Lawrence Market and University Ave Armouries, it would be perfect.

I was studying in alma college in 1980, it was a beautiful college, I was sad to learn the college burned down, . I remember my English teacher, her name was mrs.pretty

That giant tree next to the Wellington hotel. So beautiful.

Thank you for a pleasant walk around the neighborhood I’m very familiar with. So nice to hear about its rich history. (No pun intended)

They should've kept these old buildings I love walking around an finding all the old style buildings and such

Looks like this was an abandoned city first. And reoccupied. Muddy york? Horse and buggy? Old world architecture? But couldn’t build streets?

Nice description of what remains of Toronto’s financial district gems. Since the 1950s, much of it looks like Legoland as they demolished many gorgeous old structures in favour of parking lots and boring buildings. It still pisses me off when I think of what once stood proud and beautiful to be replaced by dullness. EG The Foresters Building, Globe and Mail Building at York St, TD branch and King and Yonge, both arcades (Yonge and King St) and many more. If only they had more foresight.
