Ammonite Lights - HFF

Taken on a recent day trip to Lyme Regis. As part of the Jurassic coast Lyme Regis is known for being a rich source of fossils, and the ammonite shaped street lights are a nod to this heritage.. Mary Anning, a local fossil collector, dealer, and palaeontologist became known around the world for important finds she made in Jurassic marine fossil beds in the cliffs along this coast.

I have added 'Lights' by Journey as a link for Sight and Sound group

I have also added 'Look for the Light' by Reba MceEntire from the Best Songs from the Land Before Time

Thank you very muich Herb. Really appreciated. Bognor - now that brings back memories of being a young teenager and going to stay at Butlins! Lyme Regis is known as the 'Pearl of Dorset'. It was formerly called Lyme but was granted the 'Regis' status by Edward 1 in 1284 when his ships gained safe harbour here during the wars with the French. Have a lovely weekend

What interesting information you've added for your picture! The ammonites on the lamp posts are super cool! I would love to go to this place given my fascination with rocks, minerals and fossils these days! :)

Ecobird ^club has replied to Janet Brien ^club

Thank you very much Janet. Really appreciated. You would love this coastline, known as the Jurassic coast and I think you would appreciate the age and history of the place. The harbour itself is medieval and was known as Lyme until 1284 when it became Lyme Regis, - the 'Regis' being added by Edward ! whose fleet sheltered in the harbour around the Cobb during the war with the French.
