EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee transports us back to the charming coastal town of Lyme Regis in the 1920s. The image captures a picturesque scene on Broad Street, with its quaint shops and bustling street life. Looking up from the bottom of the hill, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent Royal Lion Hotel standing proudly on the right side of the foreground. The hotel's grandeur is evident even from this distance, with its elegant architecture and inviting facade. It serves as a reminder of Lyme Regis' popularity as a holiday destination during that era. As we explore further into the photograph, we notice an array of shops lining both sides of Broad Street, offering glimpses into daily life in this vibrant seaside town. The road transport adds an authentic touch to this snapshot in time - vintage cars and horse-drawn carriages meandering through the streets create a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. The coastal backdrop enhances Lyme Regis' allure, reminding us why it has long been cherished as a haven for those seeking relaxation by the sea. Katherine MacFee's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment, capturing not just buildings but also evoking emotions associated with seaside holidays and small-town charm. This print is truly a treasure that offers a glimpse into Lyme Regis' past and invites us to appreciate its timeless beauty.
