- Travel though time and compare to the present, which in this video is actually 2008. So quite a few 'present' photos can now be put into the past category. Hope for an update in the near future.
What a great presentation of the pictorial history of Sheerness. Thanks for all your hard work in keeping the island's history alive!
Love doing it, Marilyn. Cheers.
Sehr schöne Geschichte, Dankeschön fürs Teilen ❤❤❤❤
What a superb sequence of images. Thank you for the nostalgia for a time past. I'm not really in tune with the present time. I feel it more and more with each passing day.
Thank you. Great memories.
lived and worked on sheppey for 52 years, retired in essex but miss the island something terrible...thanks for these lovely videos
Thanks for comments. It is Victory Street (just of High St) looking to what is now Millennium Way. Pub was The True Briton now Domino's Pizza as you can see in now photo (2008) & is still there. Police Station background on the left. Pepys Av is the next road dow. Understand missing the Island.
@@awol116 thanks, enjoyed your videos enormously
Absolutely fascinating. A large consensus of people would say the changes are down to progress. I'm sorry but i struggle with that.
Wonderful, thanks for posting. I lived in Queenborough from 1972 to 1978
Greay presentation, looked so much nicer back in the day! Can't believe a tram used to run along the Broadway! The first electric trams in Britain apparently, and they only lasted 14 years
Absolutely fascinating & so many shots I've not seen before! So sad at all the losses........ How much lovelier Sheerness would be with most of them still there!
Yes, Anthony, and still more losses!
Going backwards. They looked after and made their living areas beautiful to the eye.
When you see it in the round the decline has been tragic . I was born in 1955 and u think at that time the consensus was that Sheerness was anice little place .
Thing is we were a one trick pony - the whole raison d' etre of Sheerness was the Royal Navy dockyard . Without that it's just been decline .
Spot-on, Michael.
It was such a shame they demolished the RIO cinema building on the Broadway, especially for those hideously awful flats they built in it's place, those flats could have been built anywhere around the town and have kept the Rio.
Shameful that they destroyed a community at Westminster about 50 years ago and that site is a tip and an eyesore !!!
Smashing village & people.
Those people in the 1800s and early 20th centruy would have never thought that the town would turn into such a hell hole of dispear and ugliness.
It's pretty much the same all over England. The last one hundred years have seen some dreadful changes in the fabric of the country, and our way of life.
So essentially, most of the good architecture and character is now gone!
Wasn't it beautiful
