Good afternoon, Francis @FrancisMMThomas & thank you. Like you, we've just had a real down-pour with our gutters overflowing! Here's one that I hope might brighten your day. This is "Lyme Regis" by John Cooper from c.1935. #JohnCooper #LymeRegis #Dorset #Sunday #ELG https://t.co/CjOtNPaKaF
Years since I’ve been to #lymeregis these are sketches I did years and years ago - I’m looking forward to developing my drawing degree memory project returning to a beautiful place with lovely memories
#OTD in 1804 #janeausten wrote to her sister from #LymeRegis. #MaryAnning's father, a carpenter, was asked to repair some furniture in their rented house. The Austens thought his estimate of 5 shillings was excessive, 'beyond the value of all the furniture in the room together'.
I thought I'd start today with a view that was always exciting for me as a child when we went on day-trips to the Dorset coast. It was the first view of the sea as we arrived! This is "Lyme Regis by John Cooper from c.1935. #JohnCooper #LymeRegis #Dorset #thursdaymorning #ELG
#OTD in 1824 geologist Charles Lyell wrote to Gideon Mantell about his recent visit to #MaryAnning in #LymeRegis where he saw 'the discovery of a superb skeleton of Ichthyosaurus by Miss Anning. It was perfect, save the tail which a cart-wheel had passed over. It was 2 feet long'
#OTD in 1844, physician and naturalist Carl Gustav Carus, accompanying the King of Saxony on an informal tour, called at #LymeRegis en route from Weymouth to Exmouth. Visiting #MaryAnning's shop, Carus was impressed by the fossils for sale, and by her reasonable prices. 1/2

#OTD in 1830, Charles Lyell wrote to Gideon Mantell about a visit by William Buckland to #LymeRegis: 'there is something in the wind...a paper on the new beast perhaps, that fish-like concern which #MaryAnning wants to make a grand wonder of, and the Dr a memoir, I suppose'. 1/2
