Doors 157 – Lyme Regis part 2
I have written this week’s post in advance, because my mind will be otherwise occupied today preparing for a short break from work. Talking of breaks, this is the second post of Thursday doors from a mini-break my wife, daughter, dog and I shared in July during the short heatwave that (at the time of writing) seems a lifetime ago.
Lyme Regis is a curious town trying to satisfy a dual personality as a fine destination at the heart of the famous Jurassic Coast, and a rather overcrowded south coast beach opportunity for grockles. Much of the town appears to be geared towards the latter and their desires for fish and chips and ice cream. Step back into the past, and the doors tell you much more about the history of the place.
Here we go:
That just about wraps things up for another week, part three of Lyme Regis doors will follow soon.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.

You have a great collection today. The best are the two doors on the Guildhall, but the beach cottages and the wonky bar doors are also nice.

Thank you. The guildhall doors are not as old as the building, which is very old.

Being originally from Europe, I miss the practicality of these beach houses. They don’t have ’em here in the USA. Only one solution: put your swimsuit on at home! Emille (Jesh)

Beach houses are very sought after and change hands for vast and crazy sums of money.

Grockles is a derogatory term (in Devon and Cornwall) for holiday-makers
