Knightstone Baths, Weston-super-Mare, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Knightstone Baths, Weston-super-Mare, 1844. Weston-super-Mare is what may be termed a railway watering-place: it is situated on the Great Western line, about twenty miles from Clifton, and has a fine strand, three miles in length. Several villas and other buildings are in progress; and in the immediate vicinity of the town, plantations of 400 acres have been tastefully laid out in walks, drives, &c. From its beautiful situation, and its contiguity to Cheltenham, Bath, and Clifton, Weston-super-Mare bids fair to become a very popular resort. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Knightstone Baths in Weston-super-Mare, England, dating back to 1844. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, yet their talent for capturing the essence of this coastal town is undeniable. Weston-super-Mare emerges as a railway watering-place, conveniently located on the Great Western line just twenty miles from Clifton. Its three-mile-long strand boasts a picturesque beach that stretches along the coast. As depicted in this engraving, several villas and buildings are under construction, while nearby plantations covering 400 acres have been thoughtfully designed with walks and drives. The beauty of its location combined with its proximity to popular destinations like Cheltenham, Bath, and Clifton positions Weston-super-Mare as an upcoming resort destination. This Victorian-era print hails from "Illustrated London News" offering readers a glimpse into the promising future of this charming seaside town. Preserved by Heritage Images today, it serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of its anonymous creator and the historical significance of Weston-super-Mare during the 19th century. This monochromatic masterpiece transports us back in time to witness an era when public baths were cherished communal spaces amidst stunning coastal landscapes.
