These were the scenes outside Burnham-On-Sea pier on Saturday morning (March 1st) after storm-forced winds caused an estimated £1,000 of damage.
The 60mph winds snapped an umbrella and left two reinforced glass panels broken, with shards of glass strewn across the pavement, as pictured here.
“The heavy winds came from the wrong direction and unfotunately resulted in a lot of damage,” pier owner Louise Parkin told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“One of the big umbrellas outside our eating area was sheered off and this fell onto glass panels, breaking them.”
Elsewhere in the Burnham-On-Sea area, several residents reported garden fences being blown down.
And further along the seafront, a set of traffic lights near the Bay View cafe was also damaged.
