Some really great historical Lymington pictures

Whilst I was browsing around I discovered this great archive of local photographs.

Photographs of Lymington, Hampshire, UK in the 1950's.

They are from the archives of Francis Smith Publishers who have been in business since 1860.

Wonder if anyone will look at my web pictures in 150 years time !

The day the rain came


Monday 10th March

The weather on Monday was absolutely atrocious here in the south and combined with Spring high tide meant that Lymington Quay had a bit of a flood to contend with! Have a look at the picture and note that the water level is right up to the seats on the benches. The white van man was well prepared with alternative means of getting home! Here in the office we’re up the hill a bit though so we were ok whilst indoors! The journey home was another story!
