I was watching this again today - and suddenly realised I was looking at my grandmother - then saw a young girl jump out of a changing hut and realised I was looking at my mother as a young girl. An extraordinary moment, just wish she was still alive to share it with her. Lovely stuff, all of them, many thanks. I must visit again soon!

These time can never be found for the youth of my time. Sadly I will have to grow up in a vile era. Wish I could have lived during this time for me it was more precious then gold itself. Such a beautiful memory to have been collected.

How totally awesomely beautiful.. and what makes it all the more special for me is that I live here! The music sang to my soul and the images remind me that no matter where I have travelled and lived in my life.. there is no place like home.. my soul is only ever happy here.. Thank you for sharing this xx

It's amazing how, despite things changing at the isle of wight; a lot of places stayed the same. Most if not, all these places are still here, either repurposed or still used as it was back then! The only thing that changed is how people looked. To think, you can still walk that same path a 1900-1930 farmer walked all those years ago...

Brilliant! I was a boarder at Bembridge School between 1967 & 1972. I used to cycle all over the Island, including around it on some Sundays, plus cross country running! I am still a frequent visitor by foot and by car. Nice to see familiar places many years before I knew them.

I was born in Ventnor, live in Canada now (over 35 years). It's a HEAP better here in Vancouver, British Columbia than in the US (US is just a horrific place) but still want to move to Ventnor again and get a job doing something meaningless that just pays the bills and lets me stay there. I'd miss BC's mountains and lakes, but the Downs was always a nice walk. Great vid, thanks for posting!

what A beautiful video. I live on the Island now. I worry about how over built it is starting to become. When I was a child, There were many fields and out door areas I would play in within town. It seems now there is very little. It may just be Cowes this is happening too, but with all these new estates housing mainland people, we will need more and more to house everyone. I loved the video it's a display of how the Island should look. It's still a beautiful place, especially in the summer :)

Day at the beach is filmed between brambles chine and Colwell bay, and the bathing stalls were run by conways witch also hired rowing boat's to the general public, they no longer trade thease days and the old boathouse of witch they stored the boat's is also gone to make way for a cul dr sac of bungalows. Conways also run a tearoom above brambles cliff slipway ,that's no longer there either as the sea has consumed it to the waves of time. Nice upload stu. Neil.

@ozmedia True, and it always was as far back as I can remember. But it was only on the island that I heard grown men calling each other nipper. Probably like "Our kid" further up north.

@wordreet "nipper" is slang for kid, wee lad, youngun', etc. "Oi, nipper!" aka " Hey, ankle biter!" It's not just an island tern though, just Brit slang.
