{"product_id":"weston-super-mare-through-time-stephen-butt-9781445603858","title":"Weston-Super-Mare Through Time","description":"Until the railways arrived, Westonsuper- Mare was a town without a history. From a little fishing village with just a handful of houses, Weston grew into a major seaside resort, and this happened rapidly in just under one hundred years. After a period of decline, it has recreated itself, successfully, as a holiday destination for the twenty-first century and as one of Somerset's major towns. Romans and seventeenth-century smugglers, television comedians and top-selling writers, and even the wireless pioneer Gugliemo Marconi play a part in the story of Weston's past, as does the amazing diversity of architecture. A walk along the town's seafront encompasses Victorian enterprise, Edwardian splendour, the commercial enterprise of the new-Elizabethans - and the remarkable flood defences of the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Butt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1445603853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445603858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Stephen Butt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054402171135,"sku":"9781445603858","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c05c569-aa01-4722-a8d5-875c6aeba1c7.jpg?v=1685029760","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/weston-super-mare-through-time-stephen-butt-9781445603858","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
