Lyme Regis, Silver Street 1906

More about this scene
Appropriately still running beside trees at Burley Villas and Abbeyfield (centre), Silver Street was named in the Middle Ages for the Latin word for a wooded setting, rather than the precious metal. Today there are woods for much of the way to Uplyme and beyond. The three-storey Masons' Arms (left), where the landlord was George Hodder, has been replaced by a modern library set back from the road. Opposite, however, the scene is intact, including the front wall of the White House (right), the gable-end of the Lodge, and at a dental surgery behind. The view is north-westwards, up from Broadway House at Top of Town, along the main road out of town towards Hunter's Lodge, Axminster and Crewkerne.
