{"product_id":"hampton-hampton-beach-9781531622077","title":"Hampton \u0026 Hampton Beach","description":"A 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531622077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"William H.
