Holidays
We spent many a happy holiday in the Bridgwater area, sometimes staying on a farm just outside Bridgwater and in later years in a flat in the holiday village in nearby Burnham on Sea. Many wonderful memories of my dead parents and dogs!

Only a stone's throw from the historic settlement of Arundel, the village of Burpham is a gem of a place.
The name of this inn is the Hero, after the most famous inhabitant of the Burnhams: Horatio Nelson, born in the rectory of nearby Burnham Thorpe, and later to become England's greatest admiral, and victor
It was built by W H Pemberton for the Burcham-Rogers family, who wanted it completed in the Elizabethan style. It is now used for meetings and the education of students.
Once known as Alfred Street, Burnham's main shopping street was an avenue at one time; but the trees were removed to accommodate traffic.
The Burnhams take their name from the river Burn, which runs through this picture.
Moving further east along Somerset's coast, we reach Burnham on Sea.
The village stands above the estuary of the River Crouch, about three miles north west of Burnham-on-Crouch. The Black Lion serves Trumans beers, the well-known firm of London Brewers.
Across the River Crouch lie Burnham and Creeksea. On the left of the picture we can see three fuel pumps with a wind sock flying above.
All the way north from Burnham to Brean Down, the six miles of road behind the sand dunes and beaches has a string of bungalows, chalets, shops, caravan parks, amusement parks and holiday camps, as well
Burnham desperately struggles to keep its identity separate from the sprawl of Slough, but the historic core is surrounded by suburban housing and its main street has seen injudicious change since 1955
The George Hotel on the right with the porch survives, but the branch railway line to Burnham- on-Sea, its level crossing gates shown closed, has long gone.
Closer in, you can look down on Weston Bay and Weston-super-Mare to the north: it is probably better not to look too closely at the holiday sprawl along the road back to Burnham-on-Sea.
