How many of you kept pausing and comparing the images like I did ? I lived there way back in 1963, what a lovely place it was then. still had the 'old world' charm. enjoyed the video thank you.
What lovely archive images, perfectly matched to the current shots - thanks for sharing! It must have been amazing 100 years ago - can't help regretting how ugly so much of the Island looks today......
Hope you don't mind but I shared this on a few sheppey Facebook groups and encouraged locals to subscribe,or at least like , great videos so many memories, thank you 🙏
Hello Gary - No problem at all, kind of you, thanks. I'm not on any other platform, still finding my way around UA-cam. There will be more going on the channel over the coming weeks. All the best - Roger
Shows perfectly how the island has declined over the years. When I first moved there in 1971 it was a lovely place. Now it is a dirty overrun shell of what is was. Coming over the bridge onto the island now is like entering a giant industrial estate.

Thanks for putting this together brought a lot of memories, but quite sad to see the island now compared to the beauty it once had
