The Lynch

1920

This hand-coloured photograph captures a quiet moment along The Lynch in Lyme Regis, circa 1920. The narrow stone lane winds gracefully past old cottages and stable walls, with a lone horse and cart halted mid-path — a common sight in this historic coastal town during the early 20th century.

Lyme Regis, often called the "Pearl of Dorset," was a hub for fishing, fossil hunting, and tourism, even in the 1920s. Just a few years earlier, this town had sent many of its sons to the Great War — and now, life was slowly returning to normal, with streets like The Lynch echoing once again with the sounds of daily life.
