Or is that "Cuts back"? Anyway, the Internet era combined with falling literacy levels have allowed Dorset county council to downsize their Libraries.  If you have an urgent need to contact someone by Telephone, then a pile of burning books may summon help.

Ancient lights over Corfe Castle and street lights over the Swanage road.

Stair Hole near Lulworth Cove. We visited Lulworth Cove and discovered the minimum parking charge is £4 for 2 hours. Four pounds! The tide was in, it was blowing a gale, most of the indoor coffee shops were shut or unstaffed. I have a rule with expensive car parks. I deduct the car park cost from the money I was planning to spend in the town. In this case I took this expensive photo and we had lunch somewhere else. Money for nothing, Lulworth...

This is what happens when five blokes can't agree which sword is the bendyest.

The bandstand in the park is rarely used. The Tea shop is closed. The boating pond had its boats withdrawn.  Still, the skate park is still popular with the yoof.

I'm not certain I would want this guy looking down on my pew every Sunday.

Fantastic lighting on a wall full of old Hymn Books.
