More about this scene

Incredible numbers of peo- ple crammed aboard paddle steamers such as the 'Empress' (centre) which has just arrived in Lulworth Cove. They are about to walk the plank down to the shingle beach beside the cafe (bottom left). Lulworth was a favourite stopping point on services between Weymouth and Swanage. Within a decade scenes such as this had become a nostalgic memory.
