Gore Park Fountain
Hamilton's most popular vintage postcard topics are Gore Park, Dundurn Castle and the Hamilton & Barton Incline Railway. Every postcard publisher has their own variation or composite of the same postcard view which is highlighted on this webpage. Sometimes the difference is subtle for example, a slightly tighter crop or foliage on a tree but it can also be dramatic with the addition or omission of people and objects.
