Hamilton Town & City

The seventh in the Trust’s Architectural Heritage series, the book is packed full of information and fascinating illustrations of Hamilton, both present and what we have lost. Written by the late David L White, it covers Hamilton buildings, governance, merchants and residents and has benefited from the increasing expertise of our researchers, the rich information saved in Bermuda’s record repositories and the wonderful old images available. It does not just cover Front Street – back of town areas from Brooklyn east to Angle and Union streets are included, with information ranging from the governors after whom some of the streets were named, through the black gentry families who lived on Princess and Court streets, down to some of the humblest inhabitants.
