Minehead, The Parade 1892

More about this scene
The new seaside resort was mostly laid out south of the old town on flatter land between the Lower Town, largely destroyed by fire in 1791, and the sea. The branch railway from Taunton spurred the resort's growth; the station is now the terminus of the West Somerset Railway, closed in 1971 but reopened in 1976 as a preserved line. This view of The Parade, the centre of the new development, gives an idea of its austere late Victorian qualities, now much brightened by garish modern shopfronts.
