More about this scene
Cobb hamlet is sandwiched between Cobb harbour (left) and the somewhat landslipped Langmoor Gardens (right). The Old Bonded Store and Bay Cottage (centre) can be clearly seen. Bay Cottage is better known as Jane's Café, for its link with 'Persuasion'. Captain Wentworth brought the unconscious Louisa Musgrove here after her fall from Granny's Teeth on the Cobb. The closest buildings are Cobb Cliff and Wings (centre right) - Wings stood from 1827 to 1945. Though it looked ancient, it was not standing in Jane Austen's time, and therefore could not have been her lodgings, as was supposed. Its poetically magical name was the inspired creation of Mrs Culthorpe on moving into the house. 'I am surrounded by seagulls,' she used to tell people.
