EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 1930s photograph of the Seaside view at Shanklin, Isle of Wight. The image, captured in 1936, offers a breathtaking panorama of the coastal scene from the top of the cliff. The sandy beach stretches out below, dotted with sunbathers and families enjoying their holidays. The pier, a popular attraction for visitors, juts out into the English Channel, with boats and yachts anchored nearby. The sea, a deep shade of blue, crashes against the shore in the foreground, creating a mesmerizing display of breakers. In the background, a telescope stands tall, inviting onlookers to take a closer peek at the goings-on at sea. Posters advertising various attractions and activities at the resort can be seen scattered around the area, adding to the lively atmosphere. The cliffside provides a picturesque backdrop, with its lush greenery and winding paths leading down to the beach. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and charm of Shanklin during the 1930s, a time when holidays by the coast were becoming increasingly popular. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the seaside as a place of leisure and relaxation, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to define coastal communities to this day.
