It's been a busy week in Lyme Regis, with American actors descending on the seaside town.

More notably - Dakota Johnson, who is well known for her role in the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy.

Dakota was spotted filming in and round the Cobb, for Netflix period drama 'Persuasion' - the Jane Austen novel.

She plays the role of heroine Anne Elliot.

During the shooting of the Lyme Regis scenes horse drawn carriages were brought onto the grade one listed Cobb.

We will have to wait until next year to see those scenes, when it is released on Netflix.
