A tiny sketch by Judges 1958 found in Brisbane Charity Shop

I found a delightful pair of sketches beautifully framed 16cm x 11cm - one of the subjects was a skillfully crafted sketch of the Smith's Arms at Godmanstone - almost identically as it appears in the above photo - it was a real place.
The artist signed his/her name Judges.
The second sketch is of a Dorset cottage in Cerne Abbas... [more]

Easter 1962

I was one of 14 cyclists from Sussex who descended upon Cerne Abbas on Good Friday 1962, staying until Easter Monday.  We literally descended, as the route we used was to come over the hill from Piddletrenthide swooping down the narrow lane into the village.  We had left Sussex that Friday morning at about 7am and arrived in Cerne at about...

Mother's memories

My mother Patricia Bingham visited Bingham's Melcombe probably in the 1950's and told me, her daughter, that the house was derelict and the hall was being used as a hayshed!  I do hope to vist the place at some time next year, and wonder who owns it now and if possible to  get in touch with the present owner.  Look forward...

Extracts From White Lackington & Dorset books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about White Lackington, inspired by Frith photos.

Dorchester Photographic Memories

Close to the Top o'Town, Dorset's most famous son is commemorated in this life-size bronze statue by Eric Kennington, set on a Portland stone plinth. Unveiled by Sir James Barrie in 1931, the statue shows Hardy seated and dressed for the country, wearing a jacket and leather gaiters, with his hat on his knee. Around the figure are plants and animals, symbolizing Hardy's love for his native countryside.

The river runs alongside the right of the churchyard. The church building includes parts of an 11th-century pre-Norman church, with further additions being spread over the next eight hundred years. In the background is the war memorial and several thatched cottages . The church of St Mary was recently damaged by flooding.

This footbridge is still to be found in the village. The young man may be delivering post, judging by his bag. He is apparently travelling on two wheels, as he is wearing bicycle clips. His straw boater is in the fashion of the time.
