Sea Cottage stood proudly close to the shoreline of Worbarrow Bay. In 1840, when the Tithe Map was prepared, it was owned and occupied by Samuel Miller (1763-1848) and his wife Elizabeth Miller nee Bradford (1763-1846). Samuel was the grandson of Worbarrow resident Henry Miller (1680-1747). Subsequent generations of the Miller family lived at Sea Cottage until the forced evacuation in December 1943.
Sea Cottage, occupied by the Joseph Millers and afterwards by the Jacks, stood close to the shore with nothing but a narrow, buttressed path between it and the shingle.

Sea Cottage stood above the rocky beach alongside the boathouse slipway, facing the South Westerly gales. For over thirty years it was home to Old Henry Miller’s son Jack Miller, his wife ‘Miggie’ (Alice White Rose) and her mother Martha, a lively, quick witted East Ender known to all as Granny Rose.
In 1943 Jack and ‘Miggie’, both aged 77, were evacuated to a cottage at Langton Matravers near Swanage.
