A new Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge history leaflet has been published charting the history of maps in the two towns.
It is the latest in a series of publications from Burnham-On-Sea Heritage Group that aim to encourage residents to step back in time and learn more about local history.
The leaflet, costing 50p, is available from Superchips in the High Street and Burnham Tourist Information Centre on the seafront.
Organiser Ann Popham says the new leaflet features maps dating back to 1787 when there was evidence of a small settlement around St Andrew’s Church.
The growth of Burnham is then charted through maps of the 1800s as the population grew and buidings were constructed.
