This unique description of over 230 archive postcards and
photographs of Ryde and its environs evocatively captures the
vibrant history of this seaside town over the last century. Once
considered to be the main gateway to the Isle of Wight, Ryde had
several photographers residing locally, who were often on the sport
to record an event, celebration or disaster when it occurred, as
well as the changing fashions, businesses, shops and transport,
including the trams which took day visitors and holiday makers
alike along the esplanade and pier, the latter long-gone. Compiled
from the collection held by Lynette Archer and John Woodford of the
Isle of Wight Picture Postcard Collectors Club, this book provides
an insight into everyday life in and around Ryde as it once was,
from timeless views of the sea front to snapshots of urban streets
and buildings, particularly the local hotels which vied with each
other for custom during the summer months.
