Historic photographs and illustrations blend with stunning modern images to create a fascinating portrayal of this much-loved Dorset town. Weymouth's popularity as a seaside resort was enhanced dramatically from 1789 onwards, when King George III frequently visited to bathe in the gentle waters of the bay.

Bandstands, Bathing Machines, the English Civil War, the Great Gale of 1824, shipwrecks, emigration and much much more is detailed in this new book on Weymouth, along with its important role in the 2012 Olympics.
