Clevedon
Clevedon was mentioned in the Domesday Book as being a holding of a tenant in chief by the name of Mathew of Mortaigne and was listed at that time as having eight villagers and ten smallholders.
During the Victorian era Clevedon became a popular seaside town. The Victorian craze for bathing in the sea was catered for in the late 19th century by saltwater baths adjacent to Clevedon Pier (the foundations can still be seen), and bathing machines on the main beach.
At the dawn of the twentieth century Clevedon was still a popular resort and the Curzon cinema was built, which is the oldest purpose-built, continuously operated cinema in the world.
