EDITORS COMMENTS
Grannies Teeth: A Defiant Testament to History at Lyme Regis, Dorset, England This evocative photograph captures the timeworn charm of 'Grannies Teeth' at Lyme Regis, Dorset, England, dating back to the 13th century. Nestled along the picturesque English coastline, this ancient stone fortification, also known as The Cobb, stands as a resilient defence against the relentless advance of the sea and coastal erosion. The Cobb, a popular seafront attraction and harbour, has been fortified numerous times throughout history to protect the quaint coastal resort from the turbulent waters of the English Channel. In the 1950s, as seen in this image, the weathered stone steps, resembling the gnarled teeth of an elderly grandmother, remained a testament to the area's rich history. The name 'Grannies Teeth' is said to have originated from the local fishermen, who used the steps to haul their boats in and out of the water. Over the centuries, the steps have been worn down by the elements, giving them an unmistakable character that draws visitors from all corners of the globe. As you stroll along the seafront, the sight of Grannies Teeth transports you back in time, inviting you to imagine the stories and secrets that the ancient stones hold. A visit to Lyme Regis is not complete without experiencing the unique charm of this historic landmark, a reminder of the enduring power of nature and the resilience of the human spirit.
