More about this scene

Coram Court, named for the Lyme-born philanthropist Sir Thomas Coram, who founded the Hospital for Foundlings in Brunswick Square, stands beside Coram Tower (to the right). The view is northwards from Sidmouth Road. It was built as the Vicarage in 1851 and became the home of Sir John Arrow Kempe (1846- 1928), who chaired the Board of Customs from 1894 and was then Comptroller and Auditor- General. After his death it was taken over by the Holiday Fellowship.

Coram Court, Lyme Regis.
It was so good going through all the photos. I worked in Coram Court from 1968 until 1970 and I loved every minute of it. The photos brought back a lot of happy memories.

Great Grandfather
This was the home of my great grandfather Sir John Arrow Kempe whose daughter Cicely (my grandmother) was an artist and painted a beautiful watercolour of the main gates to the house, which I still have. Her son (my father) was brought up in Lyme Regis in a cottage on the sea front - we all spent many childhood holidays in Lyme Regis staying at the Bay Hotel.

However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
