Port Hope, Ontario, Canada has endured for over 200 years,
despite the infrequent attentions of indifferent federal and provincial governments.
In its heyday, between 1850 and 1870, it was still possible to dream of Port Hope's
future as a great city, but, as with other old small towns in Southern Ontario, that
future is behind us now. I intend to take a longing look back at the town I have lived
in all my life, chiefly through old and not-so-old photographs, and such surviving odds
and ends of our past as fall readily to hand.
