EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by Jim Hancock in July 1969, captures the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of Steep Holm, a small island nestled in the Bristol Channel, approximately five miles off the coast of Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England. Despite its remote location, Steep Holm has a rich and fascinating history that spans centuries. The island's strategic military importance was recognized as early as the 19th century, and the cliffs that surround it are dotted with several gun emplacements, a testament to its defensive history. The island's fortifications were built to protect the Bristol Channel and the approaches to the port of Bristol from potential invaders. Steep Holm has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the discovery of Neolithic flint tools and Roman pottery on the island. In more recent history, it was used as a quarrying site for limestone and ball clay, which were transported to the mainland for use in construction and industry. Despite its small size, Steep Holm is home to a diverse range of plant and animal life, including several rare and endangered species. The island's unique ecosystem is protected by the Steep Holm National Nature Reserve, which was established in 1954 to preserve its natural beauty and historical significance. This photograph offers a unique perspective of Steep Holm, revealing its rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and clear blue waters. It is a reminder of the island's rich history and its enduring allure, which continues to draw visitors from near and far.
