Then the shop was destroyed by fire in 1894, Coles at once began to build another to take its place. The result was "Sunnyside" afterwards named "Devon Edge" . Gollop and Hann, who were the masons employcd, encountered great difficulties when it came to building the west wall which adjoined Pryer`s property. Unfortunately the Pryer`s were not on speaking terms and Pryer refused to allow scaffolding on his side. Hann told me that they were forced to do out and had to lean over and plaster each row of bricks from their side during the building operations Coles placed under a brick a sovereign, a halfsovereign and a five shilling piece to commemorate the event. That night someone, who witnessed this, returned unobserved and removed the coins carefully replacing the brick. For many years after the house was finished he owned up.

Further along the Street was a coal yard opposite Nutcombe Terrace run by Spencer Gollop .

Digory Gordge originally lived in a cottage at the top of Lyme Hill, on a plot of ground shared by his brothers William, Samuel and Urath. William and Digory sold their plots to Tobit Gear, which passed eventually to Jimmy, father of Billy Gear, garage owner, who sold it to E.A.Washer in 1944 and in 1960 it was purchased by Misses M.C.H.Crosbie and D.M.Beckhouse they called their house "Digory". Digory died in 1861 aged 79.

The Will for Ernest Gollop for 1941 showing him living at Baden Cottage at Charmouth
Frank Gollop father, William, was killed in an accident on May 15th 1893, aged 55. The Inquest, held at the Pilot Boat Inn, was reported in the Bridport News on 19th May 1893:
William Gollop was aged 55. 'William Gollop, son of deceased, said his father was at work "breaking stone, at about 9 a.m. on Monday, under the cliff between Devonshire Hedge and John Caddy's Orchard. He was working about five yards from the base of the cliff, which at this point was something like sixty feet high. Witness was working at about ten yards from his father, and hearing a rumbling noise, turned and saw a portion of the cliff falling. He shouted to deceased and said "Look up". His father looked up and the falling stone struck him apparently about the head and back. Witness at once picked him up, and carried him a distance of ten yards from the cliff. He was unconscious and witness dipped a cloth into the sea and put it over his head to try and revive him, but without success, and deceased apparently expired in about two minutes. Witness hailed a passing boat, and James Grattan came to his assistance. The fatal accident happened about three quarters of a mile from the Cobb. They did not keep a boy to watch for falling earth, but such precautions had been observed at more dangerous spots. They had no warning of any danger through the dry state of the cliff, beyond the usual crumbling. James Grattan, stone breaker, said he was rowing from Lyme in the direction of the spot when he heard the last witness call out to his father. He looked round and saw Gollop waving his jacket. He did not see any portion of the cliff fall. He ran his boat ashore, and saw the elder Gollop lying as described, without any sign of life. He saw blood on one eye and understood the man's leg was broken. He went and procured assistance from Mr Porter, and they conveyed deceased to Lyme in a handbarrow. Gollop was dead. Richard Hitchcock was in witness's company that morning, but he remained in the boat. Mr William Porter, deceased's employer, corroborated the evidence of the other witnesses. Sergeant Hann, who superintended the removal of Gollop to his home, said deceased's back and one of his legs were broken. A verdict of accidental death was returned. Gollop leaves a widow and several young children, and on the proposition of Mr Wallis the jurymen and witnesses gave their fees to Mrs Gollop, Dr Dorran saw the deceased when brought from the Blue Lias ledges to the Cobb.
In an interview Frank Gollop explained their use and gave some idea of the strenuous work involved, in all weathers bar a full gale. This was recorded in the early 1950s when Frank was in his late 80s, and is quoted from Payne (1953).
Sometimes we'd carry up to six boatloads a day. By the time it were light we'ld have cast off from the Cobb, and rowed round the ledges. We'ld go to the cliff where they'd been blasting a couple of days before. There'd be two of us in each stoneboat and we'ld row her out with a heavy ash sweep. Sometimes we'ld hoist a single sail, a small lug - twas my father, mind, who was the first to make use o' sail - but they heavy stoneboats were clumsy as a cow in water and ‘twere hard to make them answer their helm. Soon as we got to the ledges we'ld start to load with stone. How did the stone get, ye ask'? Why, men with drills an' dynamite would blast a section of cliff down into the sea. When the tide came in, it washed away the marl and clay; but it left the limestone behind. Then, after a few days, two of us would row out in our boat, split up the stone, and haul the blocks aboard. T'was hard work indeed. Sometimes the stone were difficult to split. Then we must find a fault in it, and drive in iron wedges with a fifty pound hammer, until a whole slab split away. Even then the slab had to be split across; an if she didn't split in proper place, we'ld be left with a block so heavy we could scarcely lift her.' 'Most trips, we'ld take some six or seven tons aboard. Then we'ld row out to a sea-going vessel and transfer the stone to her. Or sometimes we'ld work the Heap. If no vessels in the Cobb wanted to load stone, we' Id tip the blocks into a corner of the bay known as the Heap. Sometimes there'd be two or three thousand tons awaiting to be shipped. Other times we'ld load a thousand tons a week'

Thomas Gollop, from Lyme Regis, served on HMS Amphion with my uncle Herbert Street. The Stokers had apparently had a break for cocoa just before Amphion struck the mine. Herbert had finished his cocoa and returned to the boiler room where he was killed. Thomas took a few minutes more to empty his mug and thus survived.

"Frank Gollop - the last of the Stoneboatmen" by his grandson Ken Gollop.
Frank was born in Charmouth in 1862 and was brought up in a fishing family on Charmouth Beach. His mother was a Hunter, whose family had already been fishing in the area for several generations. Her brother, Isaac Hunter, was well known from Cowes to Plymouth, both as a professional fisherman and a strong rower; after a few years he was banned from most regattas for winning every race he entered. During a gale in November 1872 Isaac had a recurring dream that his lobster pots were being washed ashore east of Charmouth. Unable to sleep, he went to the beach and found the French ship Courier ashore and breaking up. He climbed the cliffs, woke a farmer and together they managed to save the crew. This was just one of Isaac's many exploits.
The stone industry had two branches - cement making and stone exporting. From the early 1800's until 1914 the limestone cliffs and ledges on the beach were blasted and the stone loaded into boats about 26-28 foot long (the stoneboats). Some was exported as stone building material and some turned into cement with good characteristics for marine work. The Regent's Canal and Devonport Docks are among many built with Lyme Regis limestone and cement.
Stone for building was ferried out to the waiting ships, which had usually brought in coal, or was stockpiled in the outer harbour. To avoid harbour dues it was termed 'ballast'.
Two men were needed to row the stoneboats and Frank Gollop worked with his father. They mixed fishing with stoneboating and were both members of the lifeboat crew. A further 4 generations of the family have served in the lifeboat, including the present crew. When the stone trade finished in 1914 Frank continued fishing and went into the pleasure boat trade with his son Tom. Tom's sons Ken and Roy continued in the same line until a few years ago.

His sister was Sarah Clarke who married Edward Gollop in 1836. In 1861, 1871 1nd 1881 Census he lived on the Old Lyme Road near the Gordges and Gollops. The 1891 Census shows him as a Dealer in Fossils at no.2 Knapp Cottage at the junction of Higher Sea Lane. This is where Isaac Hunter lived before moving to Victoria Cottage in Higher Sea Lane.

William Potter`s widow sells the plot on to Lucy Helen Gollop, wife of Ernest Gollop, in 1890. It is on this plot that her husband builds the house called "Baden".A deed of gift (of Baden Cottage) was made on 5 th January 1942 by Lucy Helen Gollop to her granddaughter (rather than daughter) Dora Helen Vanda Avery who was just an infant.

Mr. Ernest Gollop has started to build Diomede, then Baden cottage. When he was a small boy his father had a garden by the side of the Lyme Road beyond the Devils Bellows, where the road had slipped. It was planted with potatoes and Ernest was sent to didgeridoo there and not to return until he had finished. However he got hungry at dinner time and so came home - much to his fathers wrath. He was sent back to compete the digging, but could find no Garden. During the dinner hour the garden and potatoes had slipped into the sea.
One of Gollops first jobs was to build the wall outside Charmouth House, where originally there were railings.

More than two weeks before the British Expeditionary Force lost its first soldier on the fledgling Western Front, some 130 souls were killed when HMS Amphion sank in the North Sea with the European war barely 30 hours old. Amphion, the second of three Active-class ‘scout' cruisers – small, lightly-armed and armoured, but relatively fast and agile, serving as the eyes of the Fleet – had only been in service 18 months, assigned to the Harwich Force as one of the guardians of the southern North Sea, Thames Estuary and approaches to the Strait of Dover.
On Wednesday August 5, 1914 Amphion left Harwich to sweep the North Sea with a destroyer flotilla. Already at sea by the time the British force headed out was a former North Sea ferry, Königin Luise, determined to drop mines to block the shipping lanes to Britain's capital. Late in the morning of the fifth – and having already laid a considerable number of ‘eggs' – the German ferry was spotted and intercepted by destroyers Landrail and Lance, whose 4in guns fired the first British shots of the conflict. When Amphion entered the fray, more than 15 4in guns were pummelling the German steamer, which rolled over after a couple of hours. Amphion moved in to pick up survivors – true to Nelson's maxim of “humanity after victory” – and rescued 56 of the 130 men aboard, before the force continued its patrol. The ships soon found fresh pickings.
Another steamer, very similar to the makeshift minelayer, flying the Reichskriegsflagge – the German naval ensign. The destroyers closed in to attack, unaware they were about to send the German Ambassador and his staff to the bottom of the North Sea. Amphion's captain, Cecil Fox, realised the mistake and ordered the destroyers to break off. They did not. Fox then steamed in with Amphion, putting himself between his destroyers and the steamer, the St Petersburg, in another act of chivalry. HMS Amphion at sea pre-war The action over, Fox decided to return to Harwich. In doing so, he sailed across the line of mines laid by the Königin Luise. Shortly before 7am on August 6, the Amphion ran over one. The results were horrific. The blast tore apart Amphion's forward section – every man save one on the fo'c'sle guns was killed, and most of the German prisoners being held in the bow. Just before the explosion, 19-year-old Stoker 1st Class Herbert Street had been enjoying a break with his fellow stokers, among them a fellow Lyme Regis native, Thomas Gollop. The latter took rather longer to finish his mug of cocoa than his shipmate. It saved his life. Herbert Street was killed in the blast, Thomas Gollop survived.

Saved from the Amphion - those members of the crew of the ill-fated H.M.S. Amphion who were saved included Able -Seaman Frank Gollop, son of Mr, William Gollop, of Sherborne Lane, Lyme Regis.
