Photo of Lyme Regis, Cottage Hospital 1906

More about this scene

This photograph shows the view north-westwards up Church Street from beside the Old Monmouth Hotel, with the churchyard railings on the right. The sign in front of the eight-bed Cottage Hospital (left) records that it was opened in 1897 as part of the town's commemoration of Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. It moved in 1927 to be amalgamated with an earlier hospital in Pound Street. The house, now known as the Gables, looks much the same, apart from removal of the creepers and chimneys. Further up the street are the National Schools, dated 1892 (centre), behind the girl sitting on the steps.

Magical trip for a 14 year old working class boy attending Sinjuns Grammar School - a two week school journey to Lyme Regis.
