Locking Road car park
Locking Road car park appears as the large white area on the map and is normally busy with shoppers/holiday makers during the day, and coaches and trucks during the night. Once a year, however, it is used as the assembly area for the floats taking part in the Weston-super-Mare carnival procession. This is a view taken from the flyover and shows the floats preparing for the 2004 procession. The largest of these floats employ 1MW generators and can be 100 feet long. The 2005 procession will be held on Monday 14th November. See Link

Weston-super-Mare: Worlebury hillfort
Recent tree clearance of part of the 10-acre site, in the hands of North Somerset Council, has revealed some of the 93 storage pits first discovered in the 1850s, when the site was excavated by a group of antiquarians. Grain was found in a number of the pits, which are unusually large at 6 to 8 feet in diameter and typically 6 feet deep. For a good guide to the hillfort, see ‘Worlebury. The story of the Iron Age hill-fort at Weston-super-Mare’, obtainable from Woodspring Museum, Burlington Street, Weston-super-Mare BS23 1PR. Phone 01934 612006
