Paperback. Condizione: New. Think of Burnham-on-Sea, and of course you immediately picture sun, sand and sea, and perhaps a donkey ride. This has been the case ever since Victorian times when day trippers and holidaymakers made their way to this pretty Somerset seaside resort. We all love a day at the beach, but we don't often think about how the seaside might have changed over the years. Burnham-on-Sea has gone through many changes over the last hundred years or so. Highbridge has also seen many changes during that time. In the early days it was what we would now call a transport hub. It had a main line railway, a branch line railway, a busy wharf, a bustling weekly market, and of course the main A38 Bristol road running through the town. Today just the main road and main line railway remain, the branch line into Burnham has gone, the market is no more, and the wharf was infilled many years ago.

About the book >.>.> From Bridgwater the tidal River Parrett was navigable by boat past Burnham and into the Bristol Channel. Well known locally for its extensive mud flats and muddy water, it also has a very high tidal range of around 15 metres, second only to the Bay of Fundy in Canada. As a consequence it also has a fast-moving tidal flow, which can sometimes outpace the outboard motors and sailing capability of some smaller craft. The Short Lighthouse, a private construction near the church, was built in 1820 but taken out of use in 1829. It is still there today, part of a private house. The wooden lighthouse on the sands to the north of the town and the High Lighthouse on the Berrow road were constructed in 1832 and run by Trinity House, the lighthouse authority. Sea level rises and breaches of the sea wall have brought about a number of changes at Burnham over the years. The front cover picture, from a postcard sent in 1904, shows that at that time there was just a sloping stone bank topped by a low wall. Wooden step-like ladders.
