SOMERSET RECORDED.
On this page there are photo albums
of mainly Somerset towns and villages (more than 370), including photos of
churches, canals, rivers, railways, bridges, pubs, post offices, follies, and
many other interesting features. Rapid development
in many areas has meant that many of the features that we thought would always
be there have disappeared. Existing cottages and houses are being demolished
and replaced with modern housing. Many old farms, farm buildings and green
fields are rapidly being converted into luxury dwellings or large housing
estates. Look at the North East Bridgwater Development or Wilstock village
estate just south of Bridgwater as examples of building on green field sites.
Originally started as a
Genealogical project this is now an unrivalled source of pictures and
information on the Internet. Most of the 370+ places featured have some level of descriptive text to accompany
the images. Check back from time to time as this is a work in progress. ( More ) Last updated on 27th May 2016
Books by David C Bown
Bridgwater & Around Through Time (released April 2013), and Burnham on Sea & Highbridge Through Time (June 2013) are two books that attempt to display the history of the towns mentioned
in old photographs, but with a difference. These books differ from most other
books you will have seen in that each old picture is presented above a new
picture so that the reader can see how the scene has changed over the years.
Ninety pairs of pictures are accompanied by a short descriptive text. For more information http://dbown100.tripod.com/Books.htm

Axe:
Rises from the ground at Wookey Hole caves and flows into the sea at
Uphill.
The River Brue originates in the parish of Brewham, and reaches the sea
some 50 km west at Burnham-on-Sea.
Cripps:
It runs from Gold Corner, where it was connected to the South Drain, to
a new outfall on the estuary of the River Parrett, and had retention sluices at
both ends, so that it acted as a long reservoir. At 1.6 miles in length, it
connects the River Brue at Cripps Bridge with the Huntspill River at Gold
Corner.
Huntspill:
A 5-mile straight channel was excavated using a dragline excavator in
1940 to supply process water to the ROF munitions factory at Puriton. It ran
from Gold Corner, where it was connected to the South Drain, to a new outfall
on the estuary of the River Parrett, and had retention sluices at both ends, so
that it acted as a long reservoir.
It flows for a distance of approximately 14 miles in a northerly
direction from its source near Combe St Nicholas, past Donyatt, Ilminster,
Puckington, and Isle Abbotts, before joining the River Parrett just above
Hambridge .

The source of the River Cary is at Park Pond in Castle Cary. At Henley
near High Ham, it joins the King's Sedgemoor Drain which then continues across
the moors to join the estuary of the River Parrett at Dunball.
The 37-mile (60 km) long river is tidal for 27 miles (43 km) up to Oath.
From its source in the Thorney Mills springs in the hills around Chedington in
Dorset, it flows northwest through Somerset and the
Somerset Levels to its mouth at Burnham-on-Sea,
South Drain
The South Drain starts from the Actis Tunnel, ,
ending at Gold Corner where the pumping
station moves the water into Huntspill River.The approximate length of the
South Drain is 9.4 miles.

the railway viaduct at Langport, and carries excess water from the River
Parrett to the King's Sedgemoor Drain just west of Greylake bridge near

It rises at Beverton Pond near Huish Champflower in the Brendon Hills, and
is dammed at Clatworthy Reservoir. From the reservoir it runs through Taunton

WSR
The West Somerset Railway
This famous steam railway
branched off the main line at Norton Fizwarren and made its way through
fascinating countryside and coastal scenery to terminate at the seaside town of
Minehead.
WSMR West
Somerset Mineral Railway
This
line commenced from the west Quay at Watchet, and after negotiating the incline
up over the Brendon hills at Comberow, to the terminus at Gupworthy.
This standard gauge railway
ran from Watchet to Gupworthy on the Brendon Hills on Exmoor, primarily to
serve the needs of the iron ore mines on the Brendon hills. Construction began
in 1856, and the whole line was eventually in full operation by March 1861. The
line closed in 1898, but was reopened in 1907 but finally closed for good in
1910. Parts of it can still be walked and many old buildings, including those
related to the Brendon Mines, are still visible. Enjoy this tour from Watchet,

Strategic Housing Land Allocation Assessment. (SHLAA)
This is a huge ongoing undertaking being placed on local councils by
Government, to identify areas for future house building. At the moment small
villages with few facilities appear to be excluded but that does not seem to
have stopped naοve/greed driven landowners submitting all pieces of land that
they own around a village in the hope that they will be included in future
plans for housing.
So there is huge potential here for massive change in the countryside,
the areas of which will need to be recorded before we forget how things used to
look.
Fortunately most local councils such as Sedgemoor have websites with
lists of areas that have been deemed suitable under the SHLAA initiative and in
the near future these will become the basis of a to do list before any
deveopments get under way.
For the Sedgemoor SHLAA web page go to http://www.sedgemoor.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=5852

Farms, public houses, post
offices, and petrol stations seem to be increasingly vulnerable at the moment.
All the places shown have
been visited either by bicycle, motorbike, car or on
foot. Coverage is variable, often controlled by the weather at the time. Some
places only have 3 or 4 pictures, others a very comprehensive display.
Access to church interiors
has not always been possible as many churches are now kept locked because of
theft. Where entry was possible a copy of the church guide was purchased if
available, and this was often a good source of information.
Research information prior
to a visit was sometime obtained from various internet sites, Victoria County
History Online, Genuki OS 1880 & 1900 maps, old OS maps and books including
the book on Somerset by Arthur Mee.
