More about this scene
These timber-clad cottages, standing at the foot of the white cliffs, are part of a small community which developed both as a bathing resort and as a residential quarter in the closing years of the 19th century. The adjoining sandy beach has been the starting point for generations of Channel swimmers since the days of Captain Matthew Webb's successful feat in 1875. The popular composer Noel Coward later owned one of the small houses here.
