The nineteenth century saw Weston-Super-Mare grow from a tiny village of about 100 inhabitants to a thriving Victorian seaside resort of nearly 20,000 people. As the traditional English week at the seaside was replaced by holidays overseas, Weston has managed to adapt and still flourishes today. This book uncovers the changes the town has seen over the years, comparing old photographs with the scene today. Over 200 illustrations are accompanied by Sharon's knowledgeable text, which will be of interest to residents and visitors alike.
