THE STORY OF A DORSET VILLAGE IN POSTCARDS
	A PEEP AT EYPE
	Edited by Paul Atterbury

Paul Atterbury, known for his appearances on the Antiques Road Show,has put this book together with the Eype Historical Group.

The postcards reproduced in this book have been drawn from a number of private collections in Dorset and while a considerable number of Eype cards have been recorded, some are inevitably, extremely rare.

Many residents of Eype,Symondsbury and Bridport have been generous with their knowledge, their records and their memories in the preparation of this book.

These are just two of the many postcards of Eype reproduced in this book. left: Published by Potts 1920s. The foreground underlines the point that cliff erosion is continuous and generally gradual. right: Published by James Valentine & Sons, Dundee 1930s. Dramatic erosion of the cliffs has brought the Wingfield Digby steadily closer to the cliff edge. Today the chalet is only a few yards from the edge. However, there have been major falls between Eype and West Bay, notably ones in 1902 and 1923 that were reported in the local press
