'''Cannon Street''' is a Lower City collector road in [[Hamilton, Ontario]], Canada. It starts off at [[Queen Street (Hamilton, Ontario)|Queen Street North]] as a one-way street (Westbound) up to [[Sherman Avenue (Hamilton, Ontario)|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 (Hamilton, Ontario)|Kenilworth Avenue North]] on ''Barons Avenue'' and merges with ''Britannia Avenue'', a street that runs parallel with ''Cannon Street'' from [[Ottawa Street (Hamilton, Ontario)|Ottawa Street North]] to ''Barons Avenue''.
==History==
[[Image:Cannon at James.JPG|thumb|right|Cannon at James Street North]]
''Cannon Street'' was originally called ''Henry Street''. The section between [[Bay Street (Hamilton)|Bay]] and [[James Street (Hamilton, Ontario)|James Streets]] was called ''Miles Street''. The origins of the ''Cannon'' street name remains a mystery for local historians.<ref name=FOOTSTEPS>{{cite book|title=Footsteps In Time: Exploring Hamilton's heritage neighbourhoods|first=Bill |last=Manson |publisher=North Shore Publishing Inc|year=2003|isbn= 1-896899-22-6}}</ref> 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 [[Canadian Football League|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 (Hamilton, Ontario)|Barton Street]] (north), [[Ottawa Street (Hamilton, Ontario)|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.<ref name=HAMTIMES>{{cite book|title=Hamilton our Lives and Times|first=Brian |last=Henley |publisher=The Hamilton Spectator|year=1993|isbn= 0-9697255-0-7}}</ref>
