{"product_id":"9781848687479","title":"Aberystwyth Through Time","description":"Aberystwyth started life as a garrison town for the Normans in 1277. For centuries fishing, sea faring, lead mining and agriculture were the mainstays of the local economy.

Using images of Aberystwyth dating from a hundred and fifty years ago until the present day the reader is taken on a tour of the town taking in the promenade, outlying districts and the town centre.","brand":"William Troughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52443795489032,"sku":"9781848687479","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/8519\/2712\/files\/9781848687479.jpg?v=1770799285","url":"https:\/\/www.ffolio.wales\/products\/9781848687479","provider":"ffolio.wales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
