Been having trouble when Posting on Facebook. There is a school that are using an old fashioned idea for every pic they load with the sea in it. Take the picture using a big stop-down to extend the time and there are no waves.
Bloody ridiculous idea because it aint like that in real life.
I found a shot done in the early days around 1860's and published it to show IT IS NOT NEW  but an old idea used of necessity.
They seemed to think they had invented it. LOL.
They didn't seem to know that I had been published over the years so I up-loaded a few of my most used shots. Just to show them I had been using a camera before they were born. Consequence is I have been too busy to keep up with thing here. This pic is one that I used as an example. There are other places to tsake pictures than the seafront.

A picture of the beach from the pier end. WAY in the distance there IS a car.
Hardy people the motorists of those days. Why some of those vehicles went so fast you wondered how they could manage to breath - - when all was said and done you cant beat a horse after all. Can you?

Each year access to the rocks along the beaches has become more of  problem.
However with damages awarded by the courts to soemeone who through their own stupidity has an accident damages can become  horrendous.
So the council is compelled to fence off access to places that used to have seats for folk to sit in peace and quiet.
Far from the open front of Victorian times but then in those days folk seemed to use their brains and stay out of dangerous situations.

Horses don't make as much noise as cars it's true; but they DO have other disadvantages unless you are a very keen gardener with a bucket and shovel.
It's easy to understand why the Local Board use to advertise road sweepings for sale isn't it.

Came on some pictures I took when I was working for Baxters the butchers on Hill Road after I retired from the milk round. I stopped working when the shop closed and there was then only one independents butcher left in Clevedon.

We always took great pride in the Christmas window. The show of meat and poultry had to be seen to be appreciated.  Both Pete Cornish and Marie Dollimore. who took over after he retired were very particular in making certain it was well done.
