The Royal Clarence Hotel in the coastal town of Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, is captured in this authentic 1970s colour photograph from 1978. The archival image showcases the hotel’s prominent position on the corner of Regent Street and the Esplanade, featuring its cream-painted exterior and a distinctive first-floor enclosed sun terrace with dark wood framing. Large red lettering on the side of the building identifies the establishment, while signage above the entrance denotes it as a “Free House” offering accommodation. Parked along the quiet street are two red hatchbacks, including a 1970s Vauxhall Chevette. To the right, a white building housing a “CHEMIST” is visible, while the background reveals the town’s Victorian and Edwardian seafront architecture under a cloudy grey sky. This factual record preserves the quiet, traditional atmosphere of the Somerset seaside resort during the late 1970s, documenting a landmark that has served holidaymakers for generations.
