Weston-super-Mare Birnbeck Pier

Paddle Steamer PS Bristol Queen taken from the Old Pier at Weston super Mare (on Birnbeck Island) in the early 1960s. A bit of folk history follows: Somerset CCC played three matches at Weston (their usual home ground was Taunton) each summer. One of them was always versus Glamorgan whose supporters came across on the Paddle Steamers - before the Severn Road Bridge, of course.
