More about this scene
A view of Lyme on a clear summer's day in the 1950s, with the conical clifftop of Golden Cap in the distance. A boatman's sign promises a 'mackerel fishing trip round the bay' for two shillings. By the 1950s cars were already a problem on the streets of Lyme, because of the lack of parking spaces. Present-day Lyme bans traffic from the sea front.
