Ice-cream, parasols, pasties, fish and chips,
wind-breakers, lilos, beaches, yachts, leisure boats,
souvenir-shops, restaurants, cafés and
multifarious accommodation.
All these present-day, familiar sea-side features
make this town what it is, popular, but its story
goes way back and is intriguing and fascinating.
The town on the River Lym is mentioned
in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Its Royal Charter, first granted by Edward 1 in 1284,
was confirmed in 1591 by Elizabeth 1.
The famous harbour, “The Cobb” goes back as far as the 14th. Century.
It featured in Jane Austen’s novel “Persuasion,” of 1818 and
in John Fowles’s story, “The French Lieutenant’s Woman.”
The 1981 film of the same name was partly filmed on
“The Cobb” and within the town.
The “Pearl of Dorset” has shone many times.
Since Mary Anning discovered an Ichthyosaur in the Blue Lias Clay rock in the cliffs near the town in the 19th. Century it has become a palaeontologist’s paradise.
Thousands of Ammonites, Trilobites and other Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous fossils continue to be found, not least because the cliffs are very unstable and suffer frequent and dangerous cliff-falls.
These often reveal previously hidden fossils and it has reached global status as a part of the “Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.”
Since Victorian times its popularity as a seaside resort has blossomed.
It has a charm and ambience that is hard to define, but very special.
I have loved it ever since my first visit at 17, now nearly 49 years ago!
142's were often called upon to strengthen Sprinter trains on Summer weekends, thereby providing additional poor mans accommodation to an otherwise full and standing service. Of course often enough they simply forgot to add the additional unit! Not true of course, but given the regularity with which for no doubt genuine operational reasons, an additional unit was notprovided, it must surely have seemed so to the "customer".
