Isle of Wight in the Past (45-mins) ()

Ref: VP110D

Every year thousands of people visit the Isle of Wight to enjoy its rich, natural beauty and diverse range of attractions.

The Isle of Wight in the Past looks back across the decades through fascinating archive film footage, from as early as the 1900s! It features the island’s famous Cowes Regatta during the 1930s, and the comings and goings of the paddle steamers linking island and mainland. And a stunning tour of the island recorded in the 1950s by the Isle of Wight Cine Club captures all the atmosphere of the post-war seaside holiday - nostalgic scenes of steamers at Ryde Pier, period coaches, famous landmarks and ice-cream on the beach!

The isle of Wight once boasted a comprehensive railway system. It stretched to nearly every corner of the island. This too is included in colour, complete with the little tank engines which worked the branchlines. For local people and anyone who’s ever enjoyed a holiday on Wight, this is sure to bring back many happy memories!
