More about this scene
The fields of Whitecliff Farm (foreground) hosted summer camps for militia and artillery volunteers in late Victorian times. New Swanage (centre right) is beginning to cluster around Ulwell Road and the 1898-built Grand Hotel (centre) at the northern end of the beach. The view is southwards across Swanage Bay to Peveril Point (centre left) and Peveril Downs (central skyline) on the other side of the town.
