EDITORS COMMENTS
Umbrella Cottage, Lyme Regis, Dorset - Circa 1909 Nestled along the picturesque coastline of Lyme Regis in Dorset, England, stands an enchanting and unusual cottage that has captured the hearts of many. Known as Umbrella Cottage, this quaint abode dates back to circa 1909 and is a true testament to the unique architectural charm of the region. The cottage's exterior is adorned with roughcast cladding and a thatched roof, giving it a rustic and timeless appeal. Its most distinctive feature, however, is its roughly octagonal shape and the wooden posts that jut out from the walls, resembling the ribs of an umbrella. This design not only adds to the cottage's visual appeal but also serves a practical purpose, providing shelter from the elements for the gardeners tending to the surrounding greenery. The 1920s, a decade known for its artistic and cultural flourishing, saw a renewed appreciation for the quirky and unusual. Umbrella Cottage, with its charming design and distinctive character, would have been a beloved sight for visitors to Lyme Regis during this era. As the sun sets over the Dorset coastline, casting a warm glow over the cottage, one can't help but be captivated by its unique beauty. Umbrella Cottage stands as a reminder of a bygone era, a time when simplicity and charm reigned supreme, and serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful things in life are the ones that defy the ordinary.
