The landscape of Somerset has changed in many ways over the last century. From Glastonbury to the Quantax, Somerset Then & Now provides a fascinating snapshot of the county in days gone by. The older photographs in this book were taken by local photographer Henry Montague Cooper between 1904 and 1906. Cooper owned one of the county’s first motorcars, and used it to tour extensively with his camera. His photographic record of Somerset surpasses that of every other local photographer. Comparing his Somerset to the modern county of today reveals many changes: the mechanisation of farming has resulted in the loss of hedgerows, and flail cutting in the loss of trees in hedges bordering roads. Somerset’s traditional industries have now gone, and many ways of life with them. However, much still remains unaltered in the heart of this sleepy rural county, and this book celebrates the unchanging beauty of ‘the land of summer’.

"In this collection of over seventy black and white photographs, the extraordinary diversity of landscape in Somerset is shown, from the bleak, limestone hills, riddled with caves and stone quarries, of the Mendips in the north, to the forested slopes of the Blackdowns and Quantocks, and the Exmoor National Park in the west. In the centre, a deep basin, lie the Somerset Levels, over 150 square kilometres of wetland, rich pastureland, much of which, until recently, remained underwater during the winter months." "The county also contains many historic landmarks of national importance: the last battle on English soil, the battle of Sedgemoor, took place at Westonzoyland; the first Christian community settled at Glastonbury; and one of the first commercial nuclear power stations was built on the coast at Hinkley Point. In addition, the influence of some of the trades for which Somerset is well known can be seen - its cider orchards, its withies and peat workings - as well as some of its more remote rural haunts and coastal villages, perhaps hitherto only really familiar to local inhabitants." "Well-known and much visited landmarks are not forgotten - Wells Cathedral and Cheddar Gorge, Montacute House and Glastonbury Abbey, among others - and these are shown by the photographer in a new light." "The accompanying text describes the history and legend of the places photographed and details the photographic techniques employed. A tour of the county by a photographer who knows it well, Photographers' Britain: Somerset will appeal not only to the tourist and visitor, but to those who live there and to camera enthusiasts everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The southernmost county in Maryland, Somerset was established in 1666 by Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, and named in honor of his wife's sister, Lady Mary Somerset. The county originally included the area of what today is the adjacent counties of Worcester and Wicomico as well as a portion of southern Delaware. Throughout the years, some of its most prominent citizens, including Declaration of Independence signer Samuel Chase and Civil War-era Union supporters John Crisfield and Anna Ella Carroll, helped shape the nation. Somerset County includes photographs--some never before seen--that take readers from the expansion of the railroad in the 1800s, which led to a boom in the seafood and agricultural industries; to the early days of institutions, such as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore; to the founding of long-standing celebrations, including Olde Princess Anne Days, the Deal Island Skipjack Races, and the National Hard Crab Derby.
