Uplyme is seen centre and left of the photo. To the right, Cannington Viaduct Image can be seen with a chalk quarry behind it. The viaduct was one of the first mass (unreinforced) concrete viaducts in Britain, and carried the branch line to Lyme Regis which opened in 1903 and closed in 1965. Although nearby Lyme Regis is in Dorset, Uplyme and everything in this photo is in Devon.
