Does anyone know of any books on Weston Super Mare local history.
Went yesterday to see if any of the houses where the family had lived were still standing, sadly after braving some not so nice weather but finding Weston a very nice place turns out the family home ( Carlton Street) is now a car park. The local library was closed so I went to W H Smiths and they had absolutely nothing,
I have tried googling "Books on Weston Super Mare" or "Local history of W S M" and got nothing, .Trying to find Carlton Street and Reeves Cottages which was a small street off Carlton Street.

Would be grateful for any assistance. Many thanks
