A book chronicling 101 years of Frankton's history goes on sale on Saturday.
Former newspaper publisher Barry Lafferty has written and designed the "coffee table" book, called Frankton: From Farm to Inner City.
Barry has worked on the project on and off for about 10 years. He decided he needed a self-imposed deadline to get it finished and felt Hamilton's 150th birthday this year was an appropriate deadline.
The book includes dozens of historic photos, interesting facts and memories from local people.
"Whether you grew up in Frankton or not, this inner city suburb has played a leading part in Hamilton's first 150 years," said Mr Lafferty.
