In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bearn Rock like this:
BEARN-ROCK, or Bearn-Back, a rugged islet below Worle Hill, in the vicinity of Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. An exciting and productive sprat fishery is carried on at it from the middle of October till Christmas.
Bearn Rock is now part of NORTH SOMERSET Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH SOMERSET has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Bearn Rock itself, go to Statistics.
