Breezy days on the Pembrokeshire coast at Saundersfoot with Jane Dorothy Vickerman (née Harvey) and family.
Jane Harvey was eldest daughter of Rev. Bridges Harvey, Rector of Doddinghurst, south Essex. She went on to marry the influential London solicitor and industrialist Charles Ranken Vickerman, who in 1863 purchased Hean Castle, at Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire, a mansion of red sandstone, which he rebuilt and greatly enlarged. In 1873, Vickerman founded the Bonvilles Court Coal & Iron Co. of which the Saundersfoot Railway & Harbour Co. became a subsidiary.
