This is in reply to Debbie but because I want to include an image I am starting a new item This is a drawing of the first Railway Station in Weston in 1841 and if you look in the bottom right hand corner you can read "From my window at Mrs Henry Taylor's Weston". Debbie asked: "Just wondering if anyone can tell me where the above dwellings would have been in 1841 Weston-super-Mare? I am related to both the Lococks at Victoria Inn and the Taylor family and Ann Knight living in the cottages. Ellen Taylor then aged 12 and living in Albion Cottage went on to marry the nephew of Mary Locock and they were my 3x great grandparents." The drawing and the entry in the 1841 census showing Ellen's parents apparently as Henry & Sarah TAYLOR seem to indicate that Albion Cottage was near to the Victoria Inn. The Victoria Commercial Hotel was in Regent Street situated next to Laura Buildings roughly opposite where the Floral Clock is today. The Floral Clock is on the site of the first railway station in Weston. The two cottages were therefore situated to the east of the Hotel. |
