  1. ✨ Family history surprise! ✨

    On this day in 1872, Alice Maud Thurnham was born. She and her sister Jane “Jennie” Thurnham moved to Bridgwater in 1918.

    I came across them while searching for other information, completely by chance.

    My grandmother was a Thurnham and my mum has always said that Thurnham is such an unusual last name that we are related to all of them.

  6. On this day in 1870, Josephine Clofullia Ghio died in Bridgwater’s workhouse.

    Yesterday, we visited the pauper's graveyard in Bridgwater where she was laid to rest.

  7. #Somerset has launched its first electric buses as part of a £14.7m project with First Bus and Somerset Council. By summer, all 25 electric buses, including 13 single deckers and 12 double deckers, will be in service across routes in #Taunton, #Wellington, Burnham-on-Sea, #Bridgwater, and #Minehead. The project, supported by £2.2m from the Department for Transport’s ZEBRA 2 funding and £12.5m from First Bus, will see over 40% of the fleet electric, serving 40,000 passengers weekly.

    The buses offer cleaner air, quieter streets, and improved accessibility, with features like USB charging points and on-screen announcements. They will operate from electrified depots in Taunton and Minehead. The buses charge in around three hours, cost £400,000 each, and have a range of 200 miles. Somerset's investment is part of its commitment to a cleaner, greener future.

  10. 60 years of archaeology to be celebrated at Bridgwater Arts Centre

    "The Society, over the years, has been involved in Professor Philip Ratz’s excavations at Cannington Park Romano-British cemetery, the Spaxton Roman Villa, assisting Dr. Peter Fowler on M5 motorway digs, investigating an Anglo-Saxon cemetery on Wembdon Hill."

  11. Hinkley Point C to fund £1m Bridgwater regeneration project

    Trust this doesn't prove a white-elephant.

    Not a fan of nuclear power personally.

    Yes it's clean, but there are huge consequences should an accident occur (e.g. Chernobyl, Fukushima).

    The spent fuel-rods can be reprocessed, but any waste has a half-life of centuries before it's safe. That's my main gripe.

  12. Just up the road from me. I'm so relieved that there were no fatalities. This could've been so much worse! It's a difficult road at the best of times, let alone with the freezing weather that set in.

    I like #Hauntology and #Ephemera – this kind of thing. Anything with a whiff of post-war Britain about it.
