Lyme Regis' harbour wall is called the Cobb and was built as a breakwater to protect ships and the town. The steps connecting the lower part of the Cobb to the upper part, are made from protruding stones and known locally as ‘Granny’s Teeth’. It was these steps which feature in Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion, where the character Louisa Musgrove falls and suffers a concussion. The Cobb also featured in the film adaptation of John Fowles' novel The French Lieutenant’s Woman. The late John Fowles was an acclaimed author who lived in Lyme. The adaptation was filmed in the town in 1980 and starred Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons.
