EDITORS COMMENTS
The Old Village, Shanklin: A Glimpse into the Past Nestled in the heart of the Isle of Wight, lies the picturesque and historic village of Shanklin. This enchanting image captures the essence of the Old Village as it appeared in the 1940s, a time long past. The quaint cottages, with their thatched roofs and ivy-covered walls, exude a charm that has remained unchanged through the decades. The Old Village, located near Sandown, is a hidden gem on the Isle of Wight, an English island in the English Channel. The village's history dates back to the Doomsday Book, making it one of the oldest settlements on the island. The Old Village was once the center of the community, with its cobbled streets, quaint shops, and bustling marketplace. During the 1940s, the Old Village continued to thrive, despite the challenges of the war. The village's residents, who were mostly farmers and fishermen, carried on with their daily lives, relying on the land and the sea to sustain them. The image captures the simple pleasures of rural life, with children playing in the streets, women doing their washing, and men working in their gardens. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, a time when life was simpler, and the rhythms of nature ruled supreme. It invites us to take a moment to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and history of the Old Village, Shanklin, on the Isle of Wight.
