A 7 minute stroll around old Isle of Wight

[@zaka503]

Thank you for sharing with us. That was just great! Beautiful pictures. How very lucky you are!

[@joejackson6453]

I absolutely loved that, it was mesmerising. I hope to visit. The suspension bridge pier made me wow. So many images of interest particularly the people. Thank you.

[@mofiziul]

Beautiful photos..Just got back from isle of wight..felt like i went back in time.loved everything about this island thanks.

[@walterwest8885]

Thanks for all the lovely old pictures Well done everyone.

[@umegadarkstar2657]

0:31 Literally a shed on a raft works better than the flashy floating bridge we have now.

[@annettestephenson9718]

Thank you for this wonderful video - it has given me a glimpse of what life was like for my ancestors there (Butler family)

[@powpunkonwhiskey6377]

Great photos, had a lot of fun trying to name the places. Thank you 👍🏻

[@shellyscott8275]

Love love love this 🥰. Thank you for sharing

3:13 building on left was National school corner of West St Newport went there 1962 to 1966, as an Islander born and bred, I made out most of the places, great video thanks

[@Megaptera2007]

Lovely. Thank you. As an ex-pat Islander I think I got about half of these. But surely the very large 4-screw ship on the ways at 4:44 can't be on the Island, as she was far too big for Sammy Whites. Perhaps Tyneside or Belfast? Some places haven't changed a bit, for example Sea View High Street is exactly the same. Very good.

[@arriesone]

Oh, that I were a time traveller! I'd go back there...and probably stay there.

[@Banburian1]

The picture at 0.37 is of my road! Our house isn't there as it wasn't built then. Interesting video, thanks.

[@xaraxania]

Great pictures of my home, i think one or two didn't belong but most of them were great, the one of the market in St James Sqare Newport was great, i remember the market in the area where Morrisons is now in Newport, mum used to takes us around there every tuesday, i loved all the animals

[@aswclassicsdorset1743]

Born in Newport in 1955, in the 60s use to go to the Church Litten Market on a Tuesday ,then over to Church Litten park under the weeping willow tree for a fish and chip lunch and in the 90s worked on the old site of the Market, when being built for the Morrisons ( Safeways) store

[@lilscorsese]

The music is by Vangelis and the album is Oceanic. If you like this song you will like the whole album.

[@oc2phish07]

Boy, this brought back some lovely memories. Thanks for posting.

[@PhilPage227]

Superb video, I have great memories of the IOW from the 50s through to the 80s

[@vikkiweller7576]

Great photos. Loved that showed people going abt their lives in them and the fashions of clothing

[@Ynysmydwr]

Very enjoyable. Many thanks. (The photo at 4:28 can't have been taken before 1948, though, since that was the first year of British Railways.)

[@laszlokaestner5766]

That locomotive still exists as the sole remaining member of its class, preserved at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. W24 Calbourne.

[@keepitsimple4629]

According to 'They All Love Jack' by Bruce Robinson the Isle of Wight is where Jack the Ripper retired. He was Michael Maybrick, aka Stephen Adams, who was the mayor of the isle 5 times. He died peacefully in his sleep in 1913.

[@stevo728822]

7:08 is the old Blackgang road beneath Gore Cliff. Not there anymore due to landslips.

[@chrisingram9123]

Quite a challenge to try to identify the locations before the picture faded -some were Very Hard. Thank you.

[@flowerpearson2798]

That was so wonderful - thank you for putting it together. Also - it must have been incredibly difficult to choose music for it and you chose very, very well!

[@aswclassicsdorset1743]

At 3:10 went to school in the building on the left, in 1962 to 1966 it was West St Cof E school in Newport and at 2:47 is Godshill my mum used to work in the gift shop in the middle of picture in the late 70s

[@prof.hectorholbrook4692]

Excellent all round. At least there's no wrist-slitting music in THIS video.

[@xaraxania]

6:39 Castlehaven the last one at 7:08 is the old Blackgang road under Gore cliff, now mostly in the sea

[@alecjefferson6993]

Very nice some writing to with the pictures spotted some places like the Crab inn Shanklin

[@freddiem54]

The abandoned railway station at 3.07 is Godshill.

[@aussieseanc]

6:22 Winkle St Calbourne Childhood memories of playing in that stream

[@barbaradyer135]

Lovely photos.

[@whufciironworkes]

Great photos, but let the viewer know where the photos were taken

[@Fishy1764]

If only you could enjoy the photos the trouble is they flash up so quick you cant.Apart from that its a great video.

[@williamlowther7051]

Such a shame that no descriptions to accompany the now lost buildings and places,

[@jeffiow]

the pub at 2 36 is the star inn ,camp road freshwater

[@michaeldesilvio9980]

Very strange looking old trains.

[@supersal48]

Shame the pictures disappear so quickly.

[@richardturpin8981]

Everything all too fleeting. No captions. Otherwise quite nice.

[@daowee7293]

The first photos were my hometown ventnor

[@chesterfield230e]

annedavies1966 I think it's the Prince of Wales in Freshwater. It's still a pub.

[@neilphillips162]

chesterfield230e . . Not anymore, converted to flats, and housing on the car park

[@MrToucana]

5:38 shows the Seaview chain suspension pier (also visible in background at 6:44 Seagrove Bay beach tents). The lovely house at 6:19 is Swainston Manor near Calbourne. The owner John Simeon-Barrington was the MP for Southampton, and he had his own private railway station Watchingwell Halt built nearby on the Freshwater line for his personal use !

[@ianwatkins417]

This has brought back so many happy memories. but most of all the picture of Hazelwood in Ashey road Ryde where us boys played in the bombed building after the war.

[@flickiow24]
