AROUND BURNESIDE

By Rebecca

The main features of Burneside are Burneside Hall, the Bryce Institute, the Church, The Jolly Anglers, which is a pub and our school. We have four shops in Burneside; a chippy called The Jolly Fryer, a Spar Shop, a Bakery, and a Post Office.

This is Burneside Hall.

It is an ancient Pele Tower. It was like a miniature castle. People used the top floor to live in and they used the bottom floor to keep their animals in.

When people lived in the tower this village was called Burnside.

This is The Bryce Institute.

It was built in 1896 after John Bryce’s death. At around1918 the institute was used as a bath house. If you paid 3^d you could have only a bath, but if you paid 6^d you could have a bath, some soap and a towel.
