During the period between the beginning of the 1950s and the end of
the 1970s Weston-Super-Mare experienced many changes as both a
seaside town and a popular holiday resort. These changes are
recorded here, for the first time, using many unique and previously
unpublished archive photographs and postcards. The history of
Weston's development into the famous Somerset resort that it is
widely recognised as today is captured in the images of residents
and tourists alike enjoying the delights of the south-west coast.
Alongside the recreational images of couples strolling along the
promenade hand in hand, children taking donkey rides on the sands
and families reclining on deckchairs, are the images of a busy
seaside town rich in local trade and industry. The daily business
of Weston-Super-Mare is preserved in this volume with enlightening
detail and provides us with the opportunity to look behind the
popular seaside images. What we are shown is a remarkable insight
into the changing face of the town during this highly productive
era in the history of Weston-Super-Mare.
