Exhibition of historic seaside town photos opens

A collection of historic pictures and documents detailing life in a seaside town for the past 140 years have gone on display.

The pictures of Burnham-on-Sea and the nearby market town of Highbridge are being exhibited at the Burnham Community Centre to mark the 40th anniversary of the North Sedgemoor Local History Group.

Chair of the group John Strickland said he hoped members of the public would identify some of the photos' subjects.

"We're hoping that their relatives will come along and help us fill in the jigsaw with their names," he said.
