- I am back on the Isle of Wight, and I am following the route of the little known Ryde Pier Tramway.
A tramway ran up Ryde Pier from 1864 until 1969, but most people don't realise that the tramway actually went further than the pier itself.
The railway from the seaside resort of Shanklin to Ryde was built in 1864 but was only given permission to go as far as Ryde St Johns Road, a good couple of miles from the pier.
So the tramway was extended to connect the two, but due to a logistical nightmare during construction, had to be redirected through someones living room.
Eventually after years of arguments with rich locals that didn't want a railway near their house, the railway won, and the connection was built in 1880, spelling the end of the tramway through the house. But the house remains.

Ahh this brought back memories from our visit there in 2022. We walked the pier walked to it from before the bowling alley. What a great story and memory, thank you.
Thank you.
From how to make tarmac to why trams run through living rooms, you sir know how to please a crowd! All jokes aside great video again and so much wonderful history. And a great story of valiant resistance that you and your sister got up to! Thank you for sharing with us. It’s a really good series. 🙌
Thanks mate. Appreciate that.
Absolutely fantastic as always ❤️ the history hope everyone well as possible xx
Thank you.
Brilliant drone footage, these are so enjoyable to watch, cheers for all the time and effort you put in mate, and what a place too really need to visit there sometime.
Thanks mate.
This story has something familiar.
But the place is so beatiful !! Thanks to show it !
Mate, great video as usual. I visited the IOW sometime in the 1970s on a summer holiday...loved it...spent the next few years playing Subbuteo on my own,inventing an IOW league before branching out into the test of England & Europe 😂.....Seriously though, i hope you and you family are as well as can be x
Thank you. Subutteo takes me back!
Great video Gareth, as always. The drone footage really takes these videos to another level with all the interesting history and all this under such difficult circumstances. So sorry to hear about Kerry.
This is purely anecdotal but I remember a history lesson at school about Queen Victoria and the IOW from the year you were born. Apparently, she liked Disraeli but detested Gladstone, so when he was PM she would travel to Osborne House on the island and then summon him for an audience knowing he had lumbago and would suffer on the journey from/to London. Like your dad says, they have no empathy.
Thanks for making this, Gareth. It is funny seeing my old flat on Melville Street, and seeing the huge amount of people on Ryde pier in days gone by. You really do make railways interesting! I love seeing the old footage, too. PS, the wind never sounds bad on video as it does to you filming. Warmest regards, Clare xx
Cheers mate
Another great video , thanks
Thank you
Thanks, I learnt something new for today.
Thats great.
Great video Gareth as always.
Thank you.
Now, wouldn't that original location off The Strand be a great terminus for the Isle of Wight Steam Railway???
That would be incredible. I always thought that if the Isle of Wight embraced the past, rather than trying to be like the mainland with dime a dozen retail chains, it could clean up in the tourist market.
