Through the Lens: the Isle of Portland
The Isle of Portland, located in Dorset, England, lies at the central part of the great Jurassic Coast, an area that documents an amazing 180 million years of geological history and beauty. This photo-book, Through the Lens, takes you across Portland's various landmarks and its picturesque coastal views, allowing you to discover many parts of Portland, including Chesil Beach, Fortuneswell, Tout Quarry, The Verne, Church Ope Cove and Portland Bill amongst many others. With twenty sections on various areas of the island, nearly 200 photographs and accompanying information for each picture, Through the Lens is a great look into the island's breathtaking features and sites.
Old Portland
The journal of Elizabeth (Pearce) White (1782-1872) of the Isle of Portland, Dorsetshire. She married William White in 1809, and the journal ceased at that time. The story was then " ... taken up by her granddaughter, Clara Jane White (or Mrs. King Warry, as she later became). She completes for us the picture of Portland in the nine- teenth century, by bringing the story down to her own childhood--more than half a century later than the eighteenth century childhood shown at the beginning of the book." (p. 54). These autobiographical journals thus describe much of the history and the social life of the Isle of Portland between 1793 and about 1930.
Excavation of an Enigmatic Multi-period Site on the Isle of Portland, Dorset
This report publishes the results of excavations at a "most unusual" site, which revealed a large number of features and finds. Structures and finds ranged from Mesolithic to medieval, but dating was tricky because occupants of the site all used the same materials - limestone and lime plaster in much the same manner.
