Brian Austin's Research & Worle Archive

If you wish to contact Brian with any enquiries or to give him information, please use the traditional method.  Write to him at:  11 Alma Street, Weston super Mare, BS23 1RB and enclose a stamped, addressed envelope for his reply.  It will be well worth the effort.

2018:  Brian has completed his 'Chronological History' project, which runs to 404 x A4 pages.  His outline list of topics can be found on this page and cover his research into the history of Weston-super-Mare, including Worle.  You will also find some fascinating notes taken from Deeds with a strong Worle connection. 

 

The list of material to download begins with Brian's articles and notes on the early development of Weston-super-Mare.  These are numbered to facilitate logical reading. 

 

Happy hunting.
