Dorset memories
I remember going to Lamberts Castle fair as a small child sometime around 1955. The fair was run by the Herbert family but they stopped running it sometime in the mid 1950s because it was not financially viable. I understand at one time the fair included horse racing and existed because of a royal charter.

My Dad
The church at Whitchurch is a lovely place to wander and muse. My father died out shooting at Mapperton when I was 11, and what a terrible shock it was.
What is nice for me now, 25 years later, is to still be able to walk down through the village past the 5 Bells pub, or over the... [more]

My grandparents and visits to them

My father Howard died in 2007. I don't think the village has changed that much since I used to visit as a child when I used to play with... [more]

Mobile homes between River Way and Bridge Road, on the west bank of the River Char, have also been targeted by... [more]

Lyme Regis Photographic Memories
There are sea defences (top left) where Lower Sea Lane converges with Higher Sea Lane. Below, a shingle beach with patches of pea-grit provides a spot for rest and relaxation between Raffey's Ledge and the Mouth Rocks, where the River Char enters the sea. Evan's Cliff is to the east (centre), followed by the higher cliffs of Cain's Folly and Golden Cap (top right). Jane Austen writes in 'Persuasion': 'Charmouth with its high ground and extensive sweeps of... [more]

Lyme Regis Photographic Memories
We are looking eastwards from the blocked mouth of the River Char, which ends its journey to the sea by having to break through a ridge of shingle (right). The coastal footpath from Charmouth (left) crosses to a shelter on Evan's Cliff (centre), but is then subject to recurrent problems as it crosses the landslip zone at Cain's Folly (central skyline). Here a... [more]
