Burnham-on-Sea ist ein Küstenort in Somerset, England, an der Mündung des River Parrett in den Bristol Channel. Bis zum Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts war Burnham ein kleines Fischerdorf, das sich seitdem bis zu einem großen Seebad entwickelte.

Geschichte

Bearbeiten

The name Burnham is derived from Burnhamm, as it was called in the will of King Alfred, made up from the Old English words Burna meaning stream and Hamm for enclosure. On-Sea was added later as there are several other towns of the same name in England.[2]

The history of Burnham-on-Sea is the history of the reclamation of the Somerset Levels from the River Severn and the Bristol Channel. The Romans were the first peoples to try to reclaim the Somerset levels, and it was their people who were probably the first settlers in the high sand dunes behind the River Parrett.[3] This could have been in part to maintain navigational systems, to aid ships entering the River Parrett and what is now Highbridge. When the Romans left, the system of drainage they installed was not maintained, and the areas reverted to become a tidal salt flat during the Anglo Saxon period.[3]

 
Bandstand on the Esplanade, 2009

It is likely that at the time of the Norman Domesday book, settlements existed at Burnham and Huntspill, their common boundary running along what is now the Westhill Rhyne.[3] The church at Burnham and its lands were given to Gloucester Abbey in the 12th century, later transferred to Wells Cathedral along with up to 50 houses surrounding the church.[3] Burnham was part of the hundred of Bempstone.[4]

Tne of the earliest recorded incidents to affect the town was the Bristol Channel floods of 1607,[5] since when various flood defences have been installed. In 1911 a concrete wall was built. After the Second World War, further additions to the defences against the sea were added by bringing part of the remains of a Mulberry harbour used for the Normandy Landings, and burying them in the sand.[2] Today the town is defended from flooding by a large curved concrete wall, completed in 1988 following serious flooding in 1981. The wall runs along the Esplanade,[6] and serves as the canvas for a wide variety of graffiti and street art.

Geografie

Bearbeiten

Burnham-on-Sea is notable for its beach and mudflats, the danger they pose to individuals and shipping, and the efforts to which locals have gone in defending their town and preventing loss of life. Burnham is close to the estuary of the River Parrett where it flows into the Bristol Channel, which has the second highest tidal range in the world. At Vorlage:Convert,[9] it is second only to the Bay of Fundy in Eastern Canada.[10][11] Burnham's extensive mud flats are characteristic of Bridgwater Bay and the rest of the Bristol Channel, where the tide can recede for over Vorlage:Convert. Bridgwater Bay consists of large areas of mud flats, saltmarsh, sandflats and shingle ridges, some of which are vegetated. It has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest since 1989,[12] and is designated as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.[13]

Apex Leisure and Wildlife Park, in the south-west corner of Burnham-on-Sea, north of the River Brue, occupies an area of more than Vorlage:Convert. The park was created from excavated clay pits, which were flooded, and the lakes are now home to many types of wildlife and leisure activities.[14]

Hinkley Point is a headland extending into Bridgwater Bay Vorlage:Convert west of Burnham-on-Sea, close to the mouth of the River Parrett. The landscape of Hinkley Point is dominated by two nuclear power stations: Hinkley Point A – Magnox (now closed) and Hinkley Point B – AGR. A third, twin-unit European Pressurized Reactor (EPR) reactor is planned, and will become Hinkley Point C.[15]

Along with the rest of South West England, Burnham has a temperate climate which is generally wetter and milder than the rest of the country.[16] The annual mean temperature is approximately Vorlage:Convert. Seasonal temperature variation is less extreme than most of the United Kingdom because of the adjacent sea temperatures. The summer months of July and August are the warmest with mean daily maxima of approximately Vorlage:Convert. In winter, mean minimum temperatures of Vorlage:Convert or Vorlage:Convert are common.[16] In the summer the Azores high pressure affects the south-west of England, however convective cloud sometimes forms inland, reducing the number of hours of sunshine. Annual sunshine rates are slightly less than the regional average of 1,600 hours.[16] In December 1998 there were 20 days without sun recorded at Yeovilton. Most of the rainfall in the south-west is caused by Atlantic depressions or by convection. Most of the rainfall in autumn and winter is caused by the Atlantic depressions, which is when they are most active. In summer, a large proportion of the rainfall is caused by sun heating the ground leading to convection and to showers and thunderstorms. Average rainfall is around Vorlage:Convert. About 8–15 days of snowfall is typical. November to March have the highest mean wind speeds, and June to August have the lightest winds. The predominant wind direction is from the south-west.[16]

Sea defences

Bearbeiten

Burnham was seriously affected by the Bristol Channel floods of 1607, and various flood defences have been installed since then. In 1911, a concrete sea wall was built, and after World War II further additions to the defences were made using the remains of a Mulberry harbour.

On 13 December 1981, a large storm hit the North Somerset coast.[17] Meteorological conditions resulted in a very intense secondary low-pressure area moving rapidly at Vorlage:Convert into the Bristol Channel, with pressure dropping from Vorlage:Convert between 00:00 and 18:00. This caused a large rising surge in sea level, with the maximum surge at Hinkley Point measured at Vorlage:Convert above the Vorlage:Convert tidal level Ordnance Datum (OD) at 20:25, and Vorlage:Convert measured at Avonmouth. The wind was measured at Vorlage:Convert from the west. Over topping of the sea defences along a Vorlage:Convert stretch of the Somerset coast at 22 locations from Clevedon to Porlock began after 19:30, and continued until about 21:30 when the wind speed had reached Vorlage:Convert from the west. Although there was no loss of life, the resultant flooding covered Vorlage:Convert of land, affecting 1,072 houses and commercial properties, with £150,000 worth of livestock killed and £50,000 of feed and grain destroyed. Wessex Water Authority estimated the total cost of the damage caused at £6M. This resulted in a three-year programme of sea defence assessment, repair and improvement.[17]

Burnham, being the largest occupied town within the 1981 surge affected area, also bore the brunt of the resultant damage. 400 properties were affected, with pavements, stone and concrete from the sea wall ripped up and the Esplande destroyed; total damage within the parish was estimated at £1.5M.[17] Although emergency repairs were undertaken, Wessex Water Authority began planning new sea defences for the town. Construction work started in 1983 on a £7M scheme, creating what was then Britain’s biggest wave return wall. The scheme raised the level of the sea wall and the promenade by Vorlage:Convert, by creating a Vorlage:Convert long and Vorlage:Convert high sea wall, and a new wider Esplanade. Taking five years to complete and coming into operation in 1988, beach access is now via a series of raised steps for visitors, with three vehicle access points which can be closed during storms using sealed gates.[17]

Lifeboats and BARB

Bearbeiten
 
BARB rescue hovercraft
Spirit of Lelaina

There have been many shipwrecks on the Gore Sands. The first lifeboat was sent to Burnham by the Bridgwater Corporation in 1836, and a replacement boat in 1847.[18]

The first Royal National Lifeboat was funded by the town of Cheltenham, and arrived in 1866. The lifeboat was removed in 1930 because of the difficulty in getting a full crew, and because the launching arrangements were not suitable for a powered boat.[19] The current Burnham-on-Sea Lifeboat Station is the base for Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) search and rescue operations. The present station was opened in 2003. It operates two inshore lifeboats (ILBs), a B Class rigid-hulled boat and an inflatable D Class.

The Burnham-on-Sea Area Rescue Boat now known as BARB Search & Rescue was set up in 1992 to fund and operate rescue craft in the Bridgwater Bay area. BARB's boat house on the sea front was built in 1994 by the Challenge Anneka TV show.[20] In 2002, Lelaina Hall, a five-year-old girl from Worcester, died on the mud flats before help could reach her. The outcry over her death prompted a Western Daily Press campaign to fund an inshore hovercraft.[21] BARB currently operates the Spirit of Lelaina alongside her sister hovercraft the Light of Elizabeth, which is named after Lelaina's sister.[22]

Highbridge (Somerset) The civil parish of Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council's operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. In recent years the parish council has become a significant grant funder of local organisations and events. There is currently a debate underway about the correct disbursement and monitoring of these grants, following allegations of impropriety regarding some councillors.

Burnham was a large ancient parish, and until the late 19th century included the then hamlet of Highbridge and rural areas around Edithmead. In 1894 Highbridge became a separate civil parish, itself divided in 1896 between the new civil parishes of North Highbridge (within Highbridge Urban District) and Burnham Without. Burnham itself became Burnham Urban District, renamed Burnham-on-Sea Urban District in 1917.[23] In 1933 it annexed Highbridge Urban District. This combined urban district became a civil parish in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. The town now falls within the non-metropolitan district of Sedgemoor, which was formed under the same legislation. Sedgemoor is responsible for local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection and recycling, cemeteries and crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism.

Somerset County Council is responsible for running the largest and most expensive local services such as education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, policing and fire services, trading standards, waste disposal and strategic planning.

There are two electoral wards in the town itself (Central and North) making the total population at the 2011 census mentioned above of 13,601.

It falls within the Wells county constituency which elects one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, by the first past the post voting system. As of 2010, the MP is Tessa Munt of the Liberal Democrats.[24] It is also within the South West England of the European Parliament which elects six MEPs using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.[25]

Because of its position near the mouth of the River Parrett, and the constantly shifting sands of the Bristol Channel, there has always been a significant risk to shipping in the area. As a result, several lighthouses, have been built.

 
High Lighthouse

The original lighthouse, known as the Round Tower, was built after the local vicar, either John Goulden in 1764 or Walter Harris in 1799, raised a subscription amongst the local population to replace the light on the top of St Andrews Church tower. The four-storey Round Tower was built next to the church. It was taken over and improved by Trinity House in 1815,[19] and operated until 1832, following which the top two storeys were removed.[26] The Vorlage:Convert pillar or High Lighthouse was designed and built by Joseph Nelson for Trinity House in 1830, and equipped with a paraffin lamp. The ground floor was Vorlage:Convert in diameter and the top room Vorlage:Convert.[27] It was automated in 1920. In 1992, it was sold to a member of the Rothschild family, who owned it until 1996, when it was bought at auction by Patrick O'Hagan. Conversion for residential use included the removal of the 6th floor and the construction of stairs where there had previously only been ladders.[27] A Grade II listed building,[28][29] it is now available for holiday lets.[30]

 
Low Lighthouse

The low wooden pile lighthouse or "Lighthouse on legs", or "Nine Pins", was built two years later, also by Joseph Nelson, to complement the High Lighthouse. It is a total of Vorlage:Convert high, with the light being at Vorlage:Convert above the sand. It stands on nine wooden piers, some with plate metal reinforcement. The structure is whitewashed with a vertical red stripe on the sea side.[31][32] The lights were inactive between 1969 and 1993, but were recommissioned when the High Lighthouse lights were permanently deactivated. They have a focal plane of Vorlage:Convert and provide a white flash every 7.5 seconds, plus a directional light (white, red, or green depending on direction) at a focal plane of Vorlage:Convert.[26]

Seebrücke

Bearbeiten
 
The UK's claimed shortest pier

A Vorlage:Convert stone pier was erected in 1858 by the Somerset Central Railway. Soon afterwards, in 1860, a steamer service to Wales was inaugurated, but it was never a commercial success, and ended in 1888. The pier retains its railway lines under a surface coating of concrete.[33]

The concrete pier, built in 1911–1914,[34] is claimed to be the shortest pier in Britain.[35] In 2008, it was rated amongst the top five piers in Britain by the Daily Express.[36]

Das Royal Clarence Hotel

The hotel was built in 1796 and incorporated the first bar in Burnham-on-Sea.

Geschütze Bauwerke

Bearbeiten

The Esplanade along the sea front contains several listed buildings from the early 19th century, including number 44, which is also known as Steart House,[37] and numbers 46 and 47.[38]

On Berrow Road, near the High Lighthouse, numbers 4, 6 and 8 were part of a terrace built between 1838 and 1841.[39] Number 31 was previously a lodge.[40] On the corner of Berrow Road and Sea View is a drinking fountain from 1897 with a single dressed stone pier and moulded plinth, topped by a cast iron urn. Each side has the lions head design with those on the north and south sides giving water into a Purbeck Marble bowl.[41]

Primary schools in the town providing education for children up to the age of 11 include: Berrow Church of England Primary School, Burnham-on-Sea Community Infants School, St Andrew's Church of England Junior School, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and Nursery.

The nearest secondary school is The King Alfred School, a coeducational comprehensive school located in Highbridge, often referred to as the 'College of Knowledge'. The school is a specialist Sports College. In 2007, the school celebrated its 50th anniversary. The facilities of the dual-use King Alfred Sports Centre, which is next to the school site, are shared between the school and town.[42]

Religion

Bearbeiten
 
St Andrew's Church

Die älteste Kirche des Ortes ist die anglikanische Kirche St. Andrew's, ein Gebäude aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, das seit 1949 zu den denkmalgeschützen Gebäuden Englands gehört.[43] Es gibt weitere christliche Kirchen der Baptisten[44] und Methodisten.[45]

Infrastruktur

Bearbeiten
 
Bahnstation "Highbridge & Burnham"

Der Ort hatte bis 1963 einen Bahnanbindung unmittelbar am Hafen, wo die Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway endete.[46] Mit dem in Betrieb befindlichen Bahnhof "Burnham & Highbridge" an der Bahnstrecke Bristol–Exeter ist der Ort an das Bahnnetz in England angebunden.

Die Fernstraße A370 verläuft durch den Ortsteil Highbridge und überquert dort auch den River Brue. Die Autobahn M5 führt unmittelbar an der Westgrenze des Ortes entlang. Beide Straßen stellen eine gute Anbindung nach Bristol und Devon her.

Kultur und Sport

Bearbeiten

Im Ort gibt es eine Vielzahl von Sportanlagen, deren Angebot auch stark auf Nutzung durch Touristen ausgerichtet ist. Im Norden liegt seit 1891[47] im Ortsteil Berrow ein 36-Loch-Golfplatz unmittelbar an der Küste, zentral im Ort gibt es ein Sportzentrum mit Schwimmhalle.[48] Der Cricket-Club wurde 1861 gegründet und ist seit dieser Zeit im Ort und der Umgebung aktiv.[49] Zwei weitere große Sportvereine, der Rugby Club[50] und der Bogenschützenverein sind zusammen mit dem Cricket Club zu einem Dachverband zusammen geschlossen, um die gemeinsame Nutzung von Sportgeländen zu ermöglichen.[51]

Burnham-on-Sea bietet darüber hinaus vielfältige Möglichkeiten für Wassersport wie Surfen, Kitesurfen und Segeln.[52] Es gibt einen Segelverein im Ort.[53]

Jährlich Anfang November wird in Burnham, wie in mehreren anderen Städten Somersets, ein als "Carnival" bezeichneter Umzug veranstaltet, der an die gescheiterte Pulververschwörung von 1605 erinnert.[54] Ein weiteres jährliches stattfindendes Ereignis ist das eat:Festival, an dem Burnham zwei Mal jährlich teilnimmt[55] und auf dem regionale Küche und Landwirtschaft vorgestellt werden. Beide Ereignisse sind für Burnham auch von touristischer Bedeutung.
