Located in the county of Somerset, and around 12 miles west of Bristol, is the town of Clevedon.
Geographically, Clevedon is situated along the Bristol Channel in between Portishead to the northeast and Weston-super-Mare to the southwest. In the 14th century Clevedon Court was built around two miles inland. Since the early 18th century it has been owned by the wealthy Elton family.
Up until the early 19th century, Clevedon was a small farming village. This began to change from around the 1820s when the Elton family of Clevedon Court sold building plots, ushering in a period of transformation, turning it into a seaside resort.
Clevedon's growth was boosted by the arrival of the railway in 1847. The station and its tracks formed the entirety of the Clevedon Branch Line, which connected to Yatton station, which in turn provided links to Bristol and Exeter among other destinations. However, in 1966 the station closed due to the Beeching cuts - a controversial move where over 2,000 stations across Britain were lost in an effort to promote road travel. Today, public transport to Clevedon consists of direct buses from Bristol, Portishead, Weston-super-Mare and other nearby settlements.
In 1869 Clevedon Pier opened. Part of it was constructed from disused sections of Brunel's nearby railway line. In its early days it received paddle steamer passengers from Devon and Wales. It is England's only Grade I listed pier, and was once described by John Betjeman as "the most beautiful pier in England".
In 1938 the first large scale production of penicillin took place in Clevedon. Work continued through the Second World War to provide aid for soliders suffering from infections.
