More about this scene
This is the basin of Bridport Harbour. East Cliff (centre left) rises to the south-east; the distinctive building is Pier Terrace, which is locally known as Noah's Ark (centre right). Built in 1884, its architect was Edward Schroeder Prior (1852-1932), an adherent of the Arts and Crafts movement. He designed it to face seawards, but turned the plans y 90 degrees when he realised the battering it would receive from the elements. Prior worked on turning West Bay from a working harbour into a holiday resort.
