Description

In this intriguing new collection of old images of Shepton Mallet and surrounding district, the past is evocatively recreated in over 200 photographs, postcards and engravings, many of which will not have been seen before. This book gives an insight into the every day life in and around Shepton Mallet as it would have been over the last two centuries.

Much of the natural beauty of the area has remained the same since the first settlers were attracted to the area some 5,000 years ago. As one of Somerset’s oldest market towns, Shepton Mallet has been the commercial and social centre of the area and remains so to this day.

Busy street scenes of traders on market day are set alongside the splendour of the Mendip Hills and Iron Age Hill Forts. Around Shepton Mallet is a valuable pictorial history of this vibrant area of Somerset which will delight those who have visited the area and evoke memories of times past for those who have lived and experienced the fascinating changes over the years.
