The Navy Lark
This remarkable photo in the Isle of Portland "then and now" series, dates from the early 20th century, just a few years before the outbreak of WW1. The pier was the 'coaling pier' and this, plus one of the harbour entrances just to the left of the "Portland Harbour" photo title, are the only really recognisable features in a scene that couldn't be more different in the recent photo shown below.
