Isle Of Wight Farming And Maritime History Websites Launch
By Adam Richardson
Two new websites specialising in the Isle of Wight s long history of farming and maritime connections have been launched.
The online projects feature hundreds of archive photos and stories from individuals and families connected to the Island s rich history of both land and sea.
Multiple Island organisations have contributed to the project, including the Carisbrooke Musuem, and the Isle of Wight Heritage Centre, along with individuals.
Profiles of well-known Island farmers and sailors also feature amongst the large and extensive scrapbooks .
IF YOU’RE kicking your heels during lockdown, we’ve got something to lift your spirits and help you happily while away the hours. A long-running Isle of Wight project which has been gathering the memories of Islanders who have worked the land and the seas is ready to share all of their gems.
Scroll through the gallery of pictures above to see more. Through two new websites Farming Memories and Memories of the Sea you’ll be able to listen to dozens of interviews, learn about those who took part and gaze through the 800-plus photos of years gone by.
