Simon Haines was born and raised in Somerset. After almost two decades years away from the county studying and teaching Archaeology, History, and English as a Foreign Language at universities elsewhere in the UK and in Central Europe he has recently returned to live and work in rural Somerset. The vintage images included in this volume have been sourced from his extensive archive of over ten thousand historic glass plate negatives and images of the West of England, and former German territories in present-day Poland. He is currently working on a new TEFL/TESL project and a further ’Through Time’ title for Amberley Publishing.
