This image is of Clevedon Pier, Clevedon, Somerset. A pier for Clevedon had been under consideration for some time. Indeed a partly constructed structure had been destroyed by high winds and heavy seas in November 1837. However the idea was revived and on a Wednesday in November 1866, a meeting took place at the Public Hall, Clevedon. The first physical sign of the pier was a buoy bobbing 800 feet out into the channel. It had been placed there by Mr James Bullock, a resident mariner. On the basis of this survey it was suggested that Clevedon’s pier should be 840 feet long and building commenced.
