This is a fascinating read for anyone living on the Isle of Wight. The historic reference to Ryde pier is of particular significance since this has been re-built in recent years. To discover the original cost of Ryde pier was £12000 is an incredible fact, especially considering the original sum was raised in shares for the construction. Living and working in Ryde, this all makes for a fascinating read as will the entire volume, capture digitally for generations to come. A must for any history fans living or with a connection to the Isle of wight.
