Minster-on-Sea; Eastchurch; Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent - Past & Present

Looking at the Isle of Sheppey from the Victorian era through to the 1970s matched with photos taken in 2008, some of which now show lost scenes. Starting in the centre of Sheppey, we move from Minster, east to Eastchurch, then Leysdown and finally Warden. There is a short piece of home movie showing Leysdown in the 50s.

Although it's changed in many places, it's still recognisable through out this video. Many thanks for the memories. ❤

Love your videos. I love leysdown and it makes me so sad to how beautiful and free it was and to see that they build on every bit of land at any given chance

Thank you. Yes, all different now, I'm afraid. More on the way.

Very sad to see all those beautiful places that have been lost forever, lived in Leysdown for 12 years now and love the place. Thanks for a great video.

Only moved to Sheppey a year ago and loved this video. Recognise most of the places already. Good work!

Thank you, John. Hope you like the island's variety.

I used to visit a lot during the 1980s. There was a small grocery shop in Warden, perilously close to the crumbling cliff edge. I imagine it disappeared many years ago 🙂

Yes, Cerne, not long after in the 90s, I believe.

Surely East end lane should be Oak lane?
