A word from the EditorWelcome to the May issue of the Weston & Worle View.

We have some new features in this month’s magazine. There is a new monthly What’s On & Gig Guide, which we are looking to expand over the coming months, and we have a new Business Directory towards the back of the book. You can now advertise your business for as low as £8.00 per month.

Over the last few months, we have been running editorial focusing on Weston’s past. These features have now become very popular with our readers. I am sure there are many of you with a story to tell. If so, we would very much like to hear from you. You never know, we might even print it!

It was way back in the time when Weston was emerging from being a small fishing community, that tourists and tourism become a major reason for its growth, and with the later construction of the Promenade it soon encouraged large numbers of people to visit the town.

Thousands of people crossed over from Wales on the Steamers that plied the crossing between Cardiff and Barry to Weston, and the railways which brought even more from Bristol and its surrounding area. From all of this, a seaside town was eventually born.

Browsing through my collection of postcards, and especially snapshots, it occurred to me that while most were probably visitors, it is possible that some were maybe locals who were just ‘taking the air’, strolling along the promenade. Suddenly, on the spur of the moment, they decided to have their photograph taken.

Photography was developing and soon many photographers roamed the town’s seafront taking countless pictures of happy tourists walking the promenade. They were then invited to view the results (after development), hoping that they could be persuaded to buy a copy or two.

The better the photographers’ skill at snapping, the better the chances of a sale!

As always, interesting snaps had a better chance of being paid for, and would eventually end up in the family photo album, or blown up and hung on the wall.

Photographs represent moments in time, captured during our lives and Jacksons Faces were one of the most prolific producers of holiday pictures in the town. They converted them into postcards and were available just a few hours after they were taken.

One of the most favourite places to see the finished articles was outside the entrance to the Marine Lake and hundreds of pictures were pinned to the viewing boards

The pictures depicted here, are from my Postcard album. They were bought because of their local interest and as they do not usually attract much attention from collectors, can often can be bought for a reasonable price.

I like them because they are natural, show life as it was and portray the typical people of the time

Well, that concludes part one of our brief snapshot, a look into the people and fashions of the past.

Somewhere there are people connected to the subjects of these pictures, but without identification, they’ll remain as postcards in my album. An in-sight into the Weston of the past.

1. I particularly like the picture of the two young boys relaxing on the Grand Pier in a cheeky but relaxed pose, obviously enjoying life in a holiday location, the year is 1928. It may be that the two boys pictured could be from one of the private schools that abounded in the town, around that time.

2. The next postcard shows what could possibly be two local women, well wrapped from the weather, maybe shot at the beginning or end of the season. It’s a good bet that they could possibly be local girls out for a stroll rather than tourists.

3. The Third postcard shows a happy crowd of visitors spread out across the promenade and this, like the previous one, is a Jackson’s Faces photograph converted to a postcard. The second in from the left is Tom Gadd, and the sixth is Vic Holly while the only lady in the line-up is Mrs Norris.

All appear to be happy and enjoying their day out. Taken in 1924 and pencilled in on the back by probably the previous owner, who is most likely in the picture, it is wrongly described as being a shot at Brighton. However, the Winter Gardens can be seen clearly in the background.

4. The 4th Postcard shows us a line up of ladies, dressed in the fashions of the day. The question is ‘Was the man part of the line up,?’ All of the women carry a coat just in case the weather changes and if you look closer at the two ladies on the left, it is seen that they are wearing identical stripped patterned dresses, are they sisters?

5. The next postcard which is of the Steamer ‘CAMBRIA’ of Bristol, one of the many that plied their trade around the Bristol Channel. Unfortunately it is not a shot of Weston-super-Mare but more likely of Ilfracombe. It depicts people crowded on board and the various fashions of the day, the date is August 1927.

6. A lady looking smart in a summer outfit is striding away from the Marine Lake entrance. Just to the left of the shot would have been the boards where the postcards would have been displayed for sale. On the card front we have the number ‘932’ to identify it for further copies and it’s dated 1931.

7. Now the final postcard shows a happy family group carrying bags, possibly containing the necessaries for a day out. What is interesting in the picture, as it appears to have been taken at a point close to where the Pool/Tropicana would have been.

Get active on the School RunStudents across North Somerset are getting information and training to encourage them to make safe, active and healthy journeys to school.

An active travel to school officer is now working with students in years 4 to 8 for a two-year council-run project which aims to increase the number of journeys by foot, scooter, cycle or public transport and reduce the number of car journeys.

It will particularly focus on those who live within walking and cycling distance of their school, while emphasising the importance of safe journeys.

This is one of a number of initiatives being paid for by the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF). This fund, from central government, totals £24m and the money is being used to deliver active and sustainable travel projects across North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset.

You can find out more about road safety training and school journeys at www.travelsmartschools.com

North Somerset Council’s deputy leader, Cllr Elfan Ap Rees, said: “We already work closely with schools on their travel plans and we are very aware of the congestion caused around schools at dropping off and picking up times. So by focusing on those children who live within walking and cycling distance of their schools we hope to cut down the numbers of parents driving to and from schools as well as encouraging more of our youngsters to get some exercise while making their way safely to and from school.

“We have already had some success by giving young people more confidence to cycle and have successfully delivered over 1,100 Bikeability training places at primary schools across the district last year. The Department for Transport has confirmed our latest award of 1,300 places plus 100 places which we can offer to secondary school students.

This is good news, with the funding being up to £40,000.”

Street Light replacementAs part of North Somerset Council’s ongoing street lighting replacement programme, a number of old-type five-metre corroded concrete columns are due to be replaced in the next few months.

Between May and September 189 lighting columns in Weston-super-Mare south ward, and 221 in and around the Worle are due to be replaced.In south ward the roads to get new lights are Wilton Gardens, Beaconsfield Road, Graham Road, Ellenborough Park Road, Ellenborough Park North, Ellenborough Park South, Clifton Road, Ridgeway Avenue, Albert Avenue, Albert Road, Pitman Road, Dickenson Road, Newtons Road, Langport Road, Clarence Rd North, Clarence Road East, Clarence Road South, Clarence Grove Road, St Pauls Road, Quantock Road, Severn Avenue, Malvern Avenue, Exeter Road.The roads in the Worle area where work will be carried out are Hill Road, Hill Road East, Martins Grove, The Rows, Silverberry Road, Blackberry Drive, Verbena Way, Lime Close, Snowberry Close, Elderberry Walk, Coralberry Drive, Blueberry Way, Mulberry Way, Blackthorn Gardens, Blackthorn Terrace, Holly Close, Almond Close, Chestnut Avenue, Magnolia Avenue, Larchgrove Crescent, Larchgrove Walk, Jasmine Close, The Poplars, Moor Lane, Sandpiper Drive, Lapwing Gardens, Curlew Gardens, Fulmar Road, Osprey Gardens, Cygnet Crescent, Cormorant Close.The existing concrete columns will be replaced with 100% fully-recyclable aluminium units with a life expectancy of over 70 years. As part of the works, existing 70 watt high-pressure and 35 watt low-pressure sodium lights will be replaced with 28 watt LED-type lanterns. New technology means these can be dimmed between 7pm and 6am. They will reduce energy use, lower maintenance costs, and along with producing lower carbon emissions, allow the lights to remain lit all night.Scottish and Southern Energy (contracting) are carrying out the work on behalf of North Somerset Council. The works in south ward are being funded from the 2013/14 Local Transport Plan at a cost of £167,200 while the work in the Worle area is costing £209,000 funded by North Somerset Council.North Somerset Council’s deputy leader, Cllr Elfan Ap Rees, said: “Our policy is when replacing concrete columns we remove the old light and part-night control switch, and replace with new LED dimming lanterns. By doing this we are actually making further energy savings and reducing future maintenance costs over the part-night.”A little disruption can be expected but contractors will maintain access to properties and businesses at all times while the work is carried out. Signs will be put out in the roads letting residents and business owners know in advance of the works taking place. A letter from the contractors will be sent to householders and business owners where a lamppost is directly outside their property to tell them when the lights will be replaced, and their co-operation in arranging to keep the space clear will help minimise disruption.

16682 Private Frederick Edwin Cook was the third son of Mr Edwin and Mrs Phoebe Cook (nee Hall) and lived in Ebdon Road, Worle. He was educated at the Church Day School, (Hillside School and now Worle Village Primary School),

in Church Road and was also a regular attendee at St. Martin’s Sunday School. At the age of fourteen he was employed as a milk boy.

Frederick joined ‘D’ Company 12th Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment, popularly known as ‘Bristol’s Own’. He was attached to Number 9 Section, which consisted solely of soldiers from Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding area. Whilst leaving the trenches at about 10.30 at night he was shot by a sniper in the groin and although taken to hospital, died the following evening, Friday 10th December 1915.

He was buried by his comrades in grave B5 of the Suzanne Communal Cemetery Extension. Frederick was just 19.

Sadly his father, who was a road foreman and worked for Axbridge Urban District Council, died early on in the same year. Frederick was very

supportive of his widowed mother and regularly sent money home in order to support her and the remaining children.

He was awarded the 15 Star, as well as the British War and Victory War medals.

Growing veg in the garden has become a lot more popular over the last few years and May is probably the busiest time in the veggie garden.

The frosts have been and gone and that can only mean that the tender veg can come out and be planted.

Runner beans are the most popular choice as they are easy to grow and relatively pest free, You can choose tall varieties that will need support in the shape of tall bamboo canes either in wigwams or in long rows if you have the space. If you live in a windy site then choose dwarf varieties as these will still give you a great crop and won’t get blown over or decimated every time the wind blows.

Courgettes again are popular and easy to grow and love copious amounts of water and can be grown with other plants with the same needs like sweetcorn, summer and winter squash, plus our old favourite the runner bean. The North American Indians always grew sweet corn, beans and squashes together and its been called the three sisters. The beans grow up the sweetcorn for support and the large leaves of the squashes cover up the ground helping to reduce water loss through evaporation and smothering any competing weeds but most importantly using up every available inch of ground.

Kieron Bewes

GARDENING VegetablesMayTop Tips• Runner bean plants are

tender perennials so choose the best performers this year then dig them up before the first frosts of autumn, keep the roots in damp sand somewhere frost free and bring them back to life next Spring for an even earlier crop.

• If your courgette plants get powdery mildew which is a white powdery substance on the leaves then it’s a good indicator they are dry at their roots so up the watering instead of spraying them with a fungicide.


Scott, who played 426 games and scored over 90 goals in two spells at Bristol City, is a newcomer to cycling but has been persuaded by his close friend Nick Baines to saddle up and tackle this increasingly-popular challenge event in the Summer.

The Great Weston Ride starts in Bristol, just around the corner from City’s Ashton Gate Stadium, and it takes riders on a fabulous route through the Mendips and across the Somerset Levels before finishing 56 miles later on the seafront in Weston-super-Mare.

Up to 1,000 riders are expected to take part this year and, like Scott, a large number will be relative newcomers to cycling, embarking on their first major long-distance ride.Scott commented: “My pal Nick did the Great Weston Ride last year and tells me it’s a fantastic event and a great challenge, so in a moment of madness I said I’d join him this year. There was also the mention of a pint or two of Ashton Press at the finish, and I think that helped! So I’m really looking forward to it, although a slight problem at the moment is that I don’t actually even have a bike – but hopefully we can sort something out on that front!”Nick, from Weston-super-Mare, added: “Everyone knows Scott’s up for a challenge and he didn’t take a lot of persuading to give this a go. We’re going to be riding in support of Prostate Cancer UK, which happens to be the Football League’s official charity this year, and we’re hoping that lots of football fans will join us and help to raise as much money as possible for the charity. My dad was successfully treated for prostate cancer a few years ago so I know first-hand how it can affect people.

We’ve set up a Team BAM7 fundraising page and people are more than welcome to sign up and join our team, and hopefully we can do some good at the same time as having a great day out. It’s going to be great fun, and I can’t wait to see how Scott handles it!”2013 sees the fourth running of the Great Weston Ride and it is fast becoming a ‘must-do’ West Country challenge event, with the added attraction of the seafront finish in Weston providing friends and family with the perfect opportunity to welcome riders across the line and then enjoy a day out together.To complete the ‘West Country’ feel, there will be a Butcombe Brewery bar waiting at the finish area to help riders to celebrate their achievement, and participants will once again be treated to the finest-quality hot food, courtesy of North Somerset premium meat producers field&flower.And on the fundraising front, while there is no obligation on participants to fundraise, to date riders have raised well over £80,000 for a range of different charities and good causes, and the organisers are hoping to see that figure increase dramatically this year with so many people taking part.If you would like to join and/or support Scott and Nick there’smore information at www.virginmoneygiving.com/team/BAM7

We always want the best care for your pet and part of this is ensuring your pets preventative health care is up to date.

Vaccinations - Vaccinations are vital to prevent your pet from getting potentially fatal diseases such as Parvovirus, Distemper and Leptospirosis in dogs and Feline Leukaemia, Cat Flu, Feline Infectious Enteritis in cats and more!

Vaccinations rarely cause side effects and they need to be given annually to keep your pet protected. Even if you think your pet doesn’t meet other animals they are still at risk as these diseases are spread in many different ways such as urine, saliva, blood and more.

Worming - Cats and dogs suffer from similar worms which in high infestations can be very nasty. Roundworms and tapeworms are by far the most common with Toxocara (Roundworm) having the potential to cause blindness in humans.

Lungworm in dogs is picked up by dogs eating slugs and snails with this worm potentially being fatal. Prevention is always better than cure to keep both your pet and family safe.

Fleas - Fleas are itchy, irritating little critters! If your pet has fleas they will be aggravated and the fleas will have no problem biting you too!

Fleas are a host for tapeworm so if your pet has fleas they are likely to have worms too.

The larvae stage of the fleas lifecycle can live in your house for up to 2 years before hatching so as well as treating your pet it’s important to treat your house too.

Every animals lifestyle is different and at Green Pastures we are happy to make a preventative healthcare program that best suits your pet.

There are many different products on the market so we can advise you of the most appropriate ones to use to keep your pet and your family protected.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!Hollywood comes in Bucket FullsLIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!Hollywood comes in Bucket FullsWeston’s seafront movie scene is now in full swing. Twenty of the world’s greatest sand sculptors have arrived in sunny Weston-super-Mare from nine different countries to create the town’s very own HOLLYWOOD on the beach. The sand here in Weston is very special and is perfect for creating sand sculptures. One of the artists, Rachel Stubbs (UK) said:“The shape of the grain is very important, it must have sharp angles, be fine and contain enough silt to bind it together. Weston is very lucky because with this and we can create enormous sculptures and make fine details.”

Those of you that have already strolled along Westons promenade must have noticed the sculptures poking over the top of the fences. Having been open since Good Friday, the sculptures are proving a hit with the public.CBBC’s Deadly Art presenter and Co-organiser of the project, Nicola Wood says:“We have a fantastic team of artists this year. We knew when we decided to create Hollywood that we must bring in the stars, and we have! We even have world champions on site”The usual interactive workshops and tours are available, and some extra-special photo opportunities have been created.

The festival is open daily from 11-5pm.

Tickets range from £2-£3.50For more information check out the website:

WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH!Community recycling campaign attracts bundles of new local business support.

McDonalds are the latest to join the fast growing list of businesses donating their cardboard to the ‘What a load of rubbish’ recycling campaign with Kewstoke Junior Football Club.

Vital Recycle UK are spearheading a project, set up in April to encourage children of the club and local businesses to donate cardboard and raise awareness of the importance of recycling. In doing this they are helping to provide some much needed funding for this long established local football club. Pubs, restaurants, markets and shops have already donated to the scheme ensuring that they are on track to hit their 20 tonne target.

Local businessman - Tim Lamb from McDonalds said “This is a huge step in turning North Somerset green and doing our bit to saving the environment and helping a local junior football club along the way”.

Vital Recycle UK has a wide range of tailor made waste management and recycling solutions and can also offer advice and support on recycling needs.

Visit www.vitalrecycleuk.co.uk to check their progress and see who is taking part or contact Ben on 07854 661833 to get involved.
