[T3] Hamilton: Wet and Wild in Hamilton, Canada’s Steel City

Sunday, 15 September 8:30 am - 6:30 p.m.
Location: Bus from Fairmont Royal York Hotel
Fee: $80.00 CDN $50.00

Hamilton’s 1857-1938 waterworks is a jewel of industrial heritage. The tour begins with the extensive restorations undertaken in the late 1990’s on the tall chimney and the massive beam steam engine. We then move on to the stone lined reservoir; abandoned since the early 20th century, and now somnolent in gentile dereliction. We lunch in period style at historic Dundurn Castle, a magnificent 1835 Regency-style villa built for railway magnate Sir Allan MacNab. Hamilton is also Canada’s “steel city” so part of the afternoon will be spent driving past the primary steel producers and the heavy metal-bashing industries they spawned. The day will be capped with a reception and tour at the Old World Stone workshops, a company that has undertaken stone restoration projects across North America.
