A really mixed bag of additions recently:
Albert Thorington's memories of manning the gun emplacement on Timber Hill during WWII
How a planned celebration of George Vth's Coronation in 1911 went tragically wrong, killing Robert Radford of Radford & Radford.
a short history of 6A Broad Street (under the Bell Cliff Cafe) written when it was last under redevelopment in 2018
a potpourri of newspaper cuttings collected by Ken Gollop between 1970s - 2017
a Water Recreation Case Study of Lyme Regis which illustrates just how well provided for its visitors in 1972, with 3,500 deckchairs, 2 tennis courts, 12 pleasure boats, 10 trampolines, a minibus running from Holmbush to the Cobb every 10 minutes in high season.........and much more.
