The Great September Gale - 1903 - Weston-Super-Mare

I have three postcards dated Sept 10th 1903 from Weston-Super-Mare Sea Front. This one is Collapse of the Grand Parade. There is also Gap in the Weston Pier, and Breach in the Causeway.

The Illustrated London News featured even more pictures from Weston...
