Shore Road and the Beach

This photo from the late 1800s shows Shore Road in Swanage with the beach. On the sand are bathing tents for visitors to change from their normal clothes to their bathing costumes in privacy.

On Shore Road there are people enjoying a walk along the promenade and a lady with a baby’s pram is in the foreground.
