More about this scene

This view looks north from the corner of Pier Street past the Queens Hotel, now painted to protect the rapidly- eroding stone work, towards the short pier; its pavilion-roofed structure is now named The Pavilion and houses amusement arcades, cafes and the like. The stone balustrades and small front gardens have all gone, and there are modern projecting single-storey frontages beyond the Queens Hotel for Sun Spot Amusements.

A Selection of Memories from Burnham-on-Sea

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Burnham-on-Sea

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember riding my bike around in Burnham on the day the yellow parking lines were painted. So this would date the picture to mid 60s say 1965 give or take a year. That's pretty close.
The lady in the picture is my nan connie ( now deceased) . We spent many happy years in Burnham on sea as my nan had a caravan nearby. My parents are still regular visitors .
Amongst my earliest memories of Burnham-on-Sea are those of being in the forge of my grandfather's blacksmith's shop, he was Mr Welland, watching him shoeing horses. After the work was done he would hoist me up onto the horses' backs getting my pretty little dresses very dirty. Needless to say, Mum was never best pleased when she saw the state I would be in!
