Weston-super-Mare - Somerset - England – Postcard

            Weston is a traditional British Resort on the Bristol Channel, known for its huge tidal range and corresponding acres of sand exposed at low tide.

This artwork postcard shows the Birnbeck Pier, closed in 1994 and currently derelict, at which excursion ships would call. A paddle steamer (unrecognisable) departs down the Bristol Channel, the hills of South Wales in the distance.

The Prince Consort Gardens were created in the 1860s, named for Prince Albert, who had the title from 1857.

Brian Gerald - Artist, c.1940
