A small blue- painted shop with taller Georgian buildings either side.

The site of #MaryAnning’s house and shop 1826-47, Broad Street, Lyme Regis. It was a small, 2 storey thatched house, demolished in the 1930s. Now, appropriately, a cancer charity shop. The buildings either side would have been familiar to Mary.

Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

The #WordsOnTheWaves exhibition at the National Museum of Ireland is magnificent, get to it, it’ll be here until October 2025. Irish monks went out into Europe, inspired by their faith, to - as they saw it - save the world. Huge credit to Matt Seaver and everyone at @nmireland.bsky.social

Excellent shot!
