Midsomer Norton, Market town in Bath and North East Somerset, England
The River Somer flows through the center of Midsomer Norton, where stone buildings line the high street near the grade II listed town hall.
Coal mining shaped the development of Midsomer Norton from 1750 until 1966, with numerous pits operating under mineral rights owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.
The Midsomer Norton Museum, housed in a former market hall, presents exhibits documenting two centuries of life in north-east Somerset through artifacts and photographs.
The monthly farmers market, held on the first Saturday, brings local vendors selling fresh produce, meats, and dairy products to the high street.
A flood prevention tunnel constructed beneath the high street in 1977 protects the town center from water overflow during heavy rainfall periods.
