Teschek\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mecca for families and beachgoers for over one hundred years, Hampton is situated along New Hampshire's short coastline. Composed of two distinct parts--town and beach--the town is a study \u003cbr\u003ein contrasts. The quiet, colonial village three miles \u003cbr\u003einland did not see much growth until after World War \u003cbr\u003eII. Meanwhile, the beach area progressed rapidly from a nearly deserted stretch of ocean occupied by fishermen and a few scattered hotels to a bustling beach resort that could draw more than 100,000 tourists on a hot Fourth of July weekend. This fascinating volume contains over two hundred old photographs. Vintage images of Hampton Beach show the resort through its many changes; from its lazy beginnings, through the era of the grand hotels, \u003cbr\u003eelectric trolley cars, and swing bands who played at the Ballroom, up to the 1950s, when the beach became a popular family resort destination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44319312642099,"sku":"9781531622077","price":43.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/6258\/9491\/files\/d525cc79158750564c5a985815b353ec.webp?v=1778895766","url":"https:\/\/baybridle.com\/products\/hampton-hampton-beach-hardcover","provider":"Bay \u0026 Bridle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
