Kathy Toth has spent over twenty years photographing the industrial areas of Toronto — the parts of the city gentrification has erased and replaced with malls and condos and not much else. Hogtown Toronto is an archive of these images which date back almost 25 years. Toronto was known as Hogtown when I was a child into my teens - and the title comes from the Stockyards (located in the Junction - link here.) which opened in 1903 at Keele and St. Clair and grew into the country's biggest livestock market. That's correct, not Calgary or Edmonton in Alberta, but Toronto. Cattle, hogs, and packing houses like Canada Packers and Bunge gave Toronto its nickname, and were still in operation until the mid 90's with some closing in 2008. There are also images I have included here from both Eastern Avenue that was the gas district where Consumers' Gas was at Eastern and Booth and related industry like scrappers to Lever brothers to Liberty Village where Inglis, Massey- Harris and Toronto Carpet started up as a prison site before rail access turned it into a manufacturing district with real "Made in Canada" manufacturing we haven't had since the mid 1980s. If these corporations were still around, employing local workers and paying taxes, we could go full "elbows up", however 40 years ago we started accepting American, and exceedingly Chinese manufactured goods. Much of my industrial photography explores this very theme, and after 22 years there is no real manufacturing left in the city or the country compared to two or even four decades ago.
