A Peerless Pier

A Clevedon Pier & Heritage Trust, Heritage Schools, Myers-Insole Local Learning CIC and UWE Masters Architecture collaboration

A Local Learning resource

Preface

This learning resource has been made possible with funding from Historic England’s Heritage Schools initiative.

 Myers-Insole Local Learning CIC  have been working with pupils and staff from St Nicholas’ Chantry Primary School and Masters Architecture students, Lucy McLoughlin, Esther Pilling, William Stradling, Tristan Vincent from the University of the West of England exploring the story of Clevedon Pier.

This resource has been organised so that learning from earlier activities can inform later learning outcomes. The sections appear in a recommended order, but can be rearranged or used as standalone activities.
