 Lyme Regis, the End of the Cobb c1910 (ref: L121301) |
Year: 2008
High Spring Tide Lyme Regis Cobb 10th March 2008
I stood at the end of the Cobb on the day of the worst storm this winter and both saw and felt the sea spray as the waves hit the top of the sea wall. It was just as exciting as shown in this view of 1910 ! I was visiting for the day while sight-seeing with our friends Julian and Janice Dent who were staying with my wife Elizabeth and me in Tiverton. Julian took photos of the angry sea - it came almost to the top of the shingle bank where the fishing boats were laid up. We went on to the shingle and threw a few pebbles in the sea getting our socks and trousers wet in the process but it was fun and a lovely memory of a great day out!

Haunted House
my name is ray hallett and i lived here in 1969. our flat was on the first floor , on the left. I remember hearing an owl hooting in the large tree at night and was convinced that the place was haunted .The house was then owned by herbie hallett ,no relation. It was infested with mice , my mother once opened the oven door to see a mouse sitting there cleaning his whiskers .I think it is such a shame that it was not saved and only photos remain.

Lyme Regis, Broad Street c1955 (ref: L121109) |
Year: 1954
Greenham's The Butchers & Brewer's The Grocers
In 1954, as a 17 year old cashier bookkeeper, I started work for Mr Greenham, whose butcher's shop was near the top of Broad Street. Some years later (in 1958), I went to work at Brewer's, the grocers, further down Broad Street. My boss there was a Mr Vaughn, who I think later returned to Torquay. I enjoyed my job at the grocers; at first I worked behind the counter, and when the cashier left I took over her job. I had been born just outside Lyme, and during my working days there, I met many nice people and had some happy times. Last edited: 27/08/2006 00:02 by Rosemary Bennett |

 Lyme Regis, the Promenade c1960 (ref: l121244) |
Childhood Memories.
I noticed with some surprise a photo of myself aged about 12 years. I am the girl on the left with the ponytail the year being about 1960. I don't recall the boys name but it looks as if we are standing by the machine that used to print letters of the alphabet. I think it cost one old penny for 20/25 letters. There was a metal dial with a brass pointer like the hour hand on a clock and when it was pointing to the letter you required you pulled down a lever on the side (a bit like a one armed bandit) and the letters were embossed on a strip of metal.
