Abstract YCCCART has agreed with the Heritage Lottery Fund to undertake a project over two years commencing May 2009 to a) Establish the extent of the Congresbury Romano British pottery. b) Undertake electronic surveys to establish additional features on Cadbury hill fort, Congresbury and its environs. c) Enable the equipment to be used by Community Archaeology in North Somerset teams to identify new archaeological sites / additional features in North Somerset. This survey provided an excellent learning opportunity for the survey team and also resulted in identification of a potential target site (building?) of interest to Mr David Fogden 2. Acknowledgements A Heritage Lottery Grant enabled the purchase, by YCCCART, of a Bartington Gradiometer 601 without which this survey could not have been undertaken. This survey was carried out at the request of Mr David Fogden, Administrator of the house, and provided YCCCART with a good training opportunity. We are also most grateful to David for providing us with his results and allowing us to publish his drawings. The authors are grateful for the hard work by the members of YCCCART in performing the survey.

Using a combination of contextual archival research, participant observations, 14 semi-structured interviews and oral history narratives, this article attempts a deliberate 15 16 shift in focus where the leisure activities of a young local population are brought to the 17 fore in the history of British seaside entertainment and, in particular, their experiences 18 19 of pleasure piers in the post-war era.

London Methuen & Co 36 Essex St. Strand [Illustration: Hand drawn Routes of the Somerset & Dorset Railway] PREFACE The general scheme of this Guide is determined by that of the series of which it forms part. But a number of volumes by different writers are never likely to be quite uniform in character, even though planned on the same lines; and it seems desirable to explain shortly the aim we have had in view in writing our own little book. In our accounts of places of interest we have subordinated the historical to the descriptive element; and whilst we have related pretty fully in the Introduction the events of national importance which have taken place within the county, we have not devoted much space to family histories. We have made it our chief purpose to help our readers to see for themselves what is best worth seeing. If, in carrying out our design, we appear to have treated inadequately many interesting country seats, our excuse must be that such are naturally not very accessible to the ordinary tourist, whose needs we have sought to supply. And if churches and church architecture seem to receive undue attention, it may be page 2 / 318 pleaded that Somerset is particularly rich in ecclesiastical buildings, and affords excellent opportunities for the pursuit of a fascinating study.

Although Henry Hallam (–) is best known for his Constitutional History of England () and as a founder of ‘whig’ history, to situate him primarily as a mere critic of David Hume or as an apprentice to Thomas Babington Macaulay does him a disservice. He wrote four substantial books of which the first, his View of the state of Europe during the middle ages (), deserves to be seen as the most important; and his correspondence shows him to have been integrated into the contemporary intelligentsia in ways that imply more than the Whig acolyte customarily portrayed by commentators. This article re-situates Hallam by thinking across both time and space and depicts a significant historian whose filiations reached to Europe and North America. It proposes that Hallam did not originate the whig interpretation of history but rather that he created a sense of the past resting on law and science which would be reasserted in the age of Darwin.

  • Clevedon Skyline Circular Walk Clevedon Is
    Skyline Walk Clevedon offers some spectacular views of town, coast and channel. This walk starts in the Alexandra road area. If you are driving, please park considerately. Make your way into the park known as Pier Copse. Take the steps up from in front of the kiosk and admire the views from the terrace above. STOP 1. The Sunset Terrace. After the end of the First World War an Austrian howitzer was given to Clevedon as a war relic. For many years it was located at the top end of 1 Pier Copse overlooking Clevedon’s beautiful Grade 1 listed Pier. Nowadays the terrace is a popular spot for enjoying sunsets and views of the grade 1 listed Pier and the Bristol Channel. The old gun is long gone. STOP 2. Drop down onto the seafront, turn left and walk along the promenade towards the Bandstand. This was built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. After passing the famously windswept yew tree and a pebbly beach you soon come to Salthouse Fields, where salt was panned in years gone by and, on the other side of the sea wall, Clevedon’s famous Marine Lake, the largest infinity pool in the world! 2 The direct route takes you from the Salthouse fields to Victoria Road and Point 5 The longer route now follows Poets’ Walk, which is well signposted. So, at the end of the promenade, start to climb the broad steps in front of you, beside the Salthouse Pub. After the first few steps, turn right along the wide path through the trees - still above the Marine Lake.

From 2011-2013 these interests fuelled a project titled Pierdom (http://pierdom.com), for which Roberts toured the British coastline capturing the country’s 58 surviving pleasure piers as well as a few ‘lost’ piers with an old-fashioned 4×5 inch field camera. In a bid to prompt a countrywide discussion on the historical significance of these seaside struc- tures an unusual national exhibition followed in 2014 whereby 13 coastal venues simultaneously exhibited up to five works from the series, including their most local pier.
