A RETURN IN ROMANTIC REGENCY

Lyme suffered a severe economic decline in the eighteenth century, but it was rescued from obscurity by its increasing popularity as a genteel watering place by the Georgians & Victorians. The courtesan Harriette Wilson described it as “a sort of Brighton in miniature, all bustle and confusion, assembly rooms, donkey riding, raffling…”. It was during this period that the cabinet maker’s daughter Mary Anning became celebrated for her discoveries of fossils in the cliffs and beaches of the Heritage or Jurassic Coast now a World Heritage site. The Cobb is featured in Jane Austen’s novel ‘Persuasion’ and also in the book ‘The French Lieutenants Woman’ this historic harbour wall will forever be a place for a romantic evening stroll.
