More about this scene
Marking the end of an era, the Bull Inn at Swyre was one of the last roadhouses to be built in England in the 1930s, enabling Mrs Bessie Case to offer 'hotel accomodation' in time for Defence Area status and use by the 1st Infantry Division of the United States Army later in the Second World War. Her telephone number was Burton Bradstock 50. Architecturally, the building is more typical of arterial roads, rather than that expected beside the B3157 coast road (bottom right), a mile inland from the western end of the Chesil Beach.
