Cannon Street (Hamilton, Ontario)
Cannon Street, is a Lower City collector road in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It starts off at Queen Street North as a one-way street (Westbound) up to Sherman Avenue North where it then switches over to a two-way street the rest of the way Eastward and ends just past Kenilworth Avenue North on ''Barons Avenue'' and merges with ''Britannia Avenue'', a street that runs parallel with ''Cannon Street'' from Ottawa Street North to ''Barons Avenue''.
==History==
''Cannon Street'' was originally called ''Henry Street''. The section between Bay and James Streets was called ''Miles Street''. The origins of the ''Cannon'' street name remains a mystery for local historians. Cannon Street today at Brian Timmis/ former Ivor Wynne Stadium/ Tim Horton's Field location is also known as ''Bernie Faloney Way'' which is named after the quarterback who played for the local CFL team, Hamilton Ti-Cats, between the years of 1957-64.
On 24 May 1909 a Coney Island-type amusement park was opened in Hamilton. It was known as ''Maple Leaf Park'' and was bounded by Barton Street (north), Ottawa Street (east), ''Cannon Street'' (south), ''Rosslyn Avenue'' (west). It failed to attract enough visitors to keep the gates open and only lasted a year. Investors of the Park sold the land to local real estate speculators for $25,000 interested in the property because the land itself was a valuable commodity in the booming East Hamilton market.
