Description
Newport, Carisbrooke & Parkhurst by Phillip Blanchard
In this intriguing selection of old images of Newport and district, the Isle of Wight’s largest town is evocatively recreated in over 200 photographs, postcards and engravings from the author’s own collection and other private sources. This collection gives an insight into everyday life in and around Newport from late Victorian times to the 1960s. The people who occupied these places are wonderfully preserved in this book carrying out their daily island duties and responding to the events that have shaped the Isle of Wight’s history.
