More about this scene
This little group of cottages belonging to the fishermen whose boats are lined up on the foreshore, grew up around the declivity where the local stream, the Wynreford, after passing through Chideock, finally reaches the sea on this shingle beach. A fair used to be held here on Whit Monday and, from a cottage next to the local inn The Anchor, furmity (a sugar sweetened Dorset dish composed of wheat, raisins, and currants spiced with, often smuggled, spirits) was reputedly sold in the 19th century.
