Unseen Isle of Wight: Britain in Old Photographs

The Isle of Wight’s history told through previously unpublished archive photographs. The Isle of Wight has a fiercely proud history with monarchs, merchants, militiamen, smugglers, soldiers and sons of the plough all leaving their indelible mark.
Found in boxes in attics and rescued from skips, these pictures bring the Isle of Wight to life in a special way. With the majority of them never having been published before, these archive photographs with informative captions will be of great interest to all who know this fascinating island.
