More about this scene

Uplyme tends to be overshadowed by its famous Dorset neighbour Lyme Regis, though in past times the latter was known as Nether Lyme to distinguish it from the village higher up the valley of the Lim. A walk to Uplyme has always been a favourite excursion for visitors to Lyme. Jane Austen, who loved the locality, wrote of 'the woody varieties of the cheerful village of Uplyme.'

The picture titled "Uplyme Mill 1892" is incorrect.  The location is Lyme Regis and is called Higher Mill along the banks of the River Lym in an area known as "Monkeys Rough" locally, opposite the original "Jericho" and "Paradise Fields".  The waterfall is still there and is at the base of what is now known as Woodmead Road.
