More about this scene

Wimborne Street c1955 Thomas Hardy writes of a journey into Cranborne in ‘Tess of the D’Urbervilles’, where the present Fleur-de-Lys tavern is depicted as the much less salubrious ‘Flower-de-Luce’. In the woodlands of the Chase, Tess is seduced by Alec D’Urberville, though Hardy’s imagination makes the area much wilder than it would probably have been even in his day.

Happy memories of Bill & Ruth Sweet. Landlord and landlady back in the 60's/70s. Ruth only recently deceased having reached a grand old 100 years of age. My mother used to clean and I tagged along in the school holidays. Recently made contact with daughter Anna and indirectly brother Jon. Happy days!
