The water marks on the harbour entrance walls show the huge tidal range at this part of the Bristol channel, a large view may show this better, Entry is not possible to the harbour in strong onshore winds. Be very aware that there is a tidal range of 10 metres at Springs and 5 metres, at Neaps, ( from Mariners notes) This is the second or third highest tidal range in the world! HWW! and nice second half of the week!

With a mainland coastline of around 2,000 miles ( 3219 kilometers) stations such as this Coastguard Station at Watchet, which is on the notorious Bristol Channel coast are essential, both for the safety of shipping and the general public, The Coastguard Rescue Service is made up of 352 teams located near the coast in stations around the UK, HBM and a nice week

A location familiar with a few Ipernians, This is a Low Water image of Watchet Harbour, on a clear late Spring or early Summer day ! The harbour has a vast tidal range as do all ports on Somersets Bristol Channel Coast, HFF and a large view if possible please! A perfect link for any Jazz fans, www.youtube.com/shorts/z4-Phf-WRUk

A January afternoon as the sun sets on South Esplanade, Burnham on Sea, At the point the River Brue flows into the River Parrett estuary before the combined waters enter into Bridgwater Bay, Shot in 16.9 format therefore a large view may be beneficial, HWW!

A bench beside the entrance to St Michael and all Angels church, Enmore, Bridgwater. The church dates mainly from the 15th century, however some of the fabric of the building from the 12th century, including an arched doorway, survives. It is a Grade II listed building.(Wikipedia) HBM and a large view for detail!

Great Western Railway large Prairie 2-6-2 T 5199 at Bishops Lydeard Station, having just arrived on a service train from Minehead, Built in 1934 and withdrawn from service 1963, restored to this pristine condition after 20 years standing in a scrap yard! This 22.75 mile (36.61 km) journey on the West Somerset Railway includes 11 stations, Mineheads Platform 1 is a quarter of a mile long which is a relic of Butlins holiday traffic of the past! HFF and a nice weekend!

The wall on the right forms a part of the entrance to POW 44 camp Goathurst, Bridgwater, Italian pows were at Goathurst where they lived in new huts and were reasonably well looked after with about 500 men in each camp. In return for their good care, they were employed, mostly in agricultural work and could be seen walking freely around the town with their yellow patches on their backs. The camp later housed German pows, And as a child i well remember them visiting our village at North Petherton many were welcomed into houses for tea and cake, often swapping stories with my father, in return they brought ships in bottles and a small wooden car for me, We had two or three regular visitors sadly I have forgotten names, In 16.9 format so a large view perhaps, HWW!
