Looking down Broad Street in Lyme Regis on a wintry day in December 2010 following a snowfall, and quite a contrast from the normally crowded high street in the summer season.
The narrow street to the left of the pink building is Sherbourne Lane, an ancient packhorse route named after Sherborne Abbey who's monks established a sea salt manufacturing industry in Lyme Regis.
The Regent Cinema (with the car on its forecourt) was built in 1937 and is a listed building -
one of the finest examples of its type in the U.K. Sadly the cinema was completely destroyed by fire in 2016, and by the end of 2019 had still not been rebuilt.
