BRIDPORT HARBOUR, William Barnes; West Bay, Dorset; Giles Dugdale

I was pleased to find this 1954 edition of the Dorset Year Book at Bridport Market on Saturday.

Some West Bay images:

John Cowper Powys

From Horned Poppies and Red Cliffs

West Bay, July 1909

 They lie who say that nature lacks

  The wonders and the wiles of art –

        Her magic moons that wane and wax,

       Her fiery stars that gleam and dart….

Did you design for your own joy

           These cliffs so soaked in rusty blood…?
