MARINE PARADE
This beautifully hand-tinted photograph captures the charm and elegance of Edwardian seaside life on Marine Parade, Lyme Regis, circa 1910. Gentlefolk stroll along the promenade, shaded by parasols, while children paddle and play in the surf below.
Lyme Regis, nestled along Dorset’s famed Jurassic Coast, was already a beloved holiday destination by the early 20th century — offering not just scenic beauty but a sense of decorum and refinement. Notice the bathing machines lining the beach and the smart dress of the visitors: it’s a picture of seaside leisure before the modern age transformed it.
Whether enjoying the view of the Cobb or simply promenading for health, this was coastal England at its most civilised.
