People
Social history is often called the ‘history of the people’. Our choice here of individuals is somewhat eclectic, often chosen from current research projects or enquiries to the museum.
We have created a compilation of Lyme Regis trade directories covering the period between 1823 and 1903. This has proved invaluable in our ‘people searches’.
