Victorian guide book writers were not impressed by the bathing at Ryde.
As with so many towns to the west of London, Cranford lies on the old stagecoach route to the fashionable city of Bath.
For decades, just as in this picture, people have sun bathed along the sea wall.
Robert Raikes (1735-1811) is acknowledged by many to be the founder of the Sunday school movement, having opened the first such establishment in St Catherine Street in 1780.
Sandown and its twin resort of Shanklin, a couple of miles to the south, are connected by a long prom- enade that winds around the curve of Shanklin Bay.

By 1839, the parish church of Holy Trinity was becoming a little run down.
Here we see a very crowded Ramsgate beach, with the pier in the distance on the right beyond the massed bathing machines.
Looking westward, this is the top lock of the Caen flight, which at one time had gas lighting installed for night time working. However, the economic life of the canal was short-lived.
This impressive bishop's throne is said to be the highest in Christendom.
