Coastline England

Bridgwater Bay at Burnham on Sea waiting for the evening tide as the Sun goes down, These steps lead to a lower set of steps to access the beach and this image shows the top of the 3.2m (10.6") Sea wall while in the distance is the 34m (110feet) inland Lighthouse .

Another in the occasional from the archives series this time from 2009, This is the shingle beach at Beer in East Devon and the wooden boat on the left is called Scrumpy (a west country name for Cider) The red sails are raised for some on the beach maintainence, Have a good week and stay safe.

Patterns on the beach as a gentle evening tide arrives at Blue Anchor Bay on the Somerset coast. Minehead and North Hill as Exmoor meets the sea in the distance.

The huge tidal range in the Bristol Channel means everything is left high and dry at low water while the houses in the image which are on the shingle bank between sea and harbour regularly have sand bags at the ready.

Another evening view this time across the bay to Brean Down from Birnbeck in Weston Super Mare.

A strong cold wind accompanies the evening tides arrival but clear skies and low evening sun give a nice clear light. Not an attractive subject but one full of hope for a full restoration,

This was the site of Royal Pier Hotel Weston-super Mare, which was destroyed by fire in 2010 and eventually demolished by the local council, sadly this prime site is still undeveloped to this day. The walkway forms a part of the walk from the derelict Birnbeck around the Marine lake and onto the re-developed Knightstone Pier and harbour. (See location map) Graffiti artists have been busy and actually brightens up a very drab area. HFF and a good weekend, but stay safe
