THE CHANGING FACE OF RYDE

Past & Present

Ryde Social Heritage Group’s exciting new project is to look at life in Ryde 100 years ago, finding out what it was like for families who were living here and discover how, like people across the world, the First World War was going to change their lives (and change the world) forever.

Using local archives, resources and memories we aim to help people find out for themselves how Ryde changed with the onset of war. Ryde Social Heritage Group will be holding exhibitions, workshops and ‘how to’ sessions at local venues for anyone wanting to learn more about the social history of Ryde and record it for the children of tomorrow.

More detail will be added soon so if this interests you please visit the website again for more news, or, use the contact button to leave us a message and we will get back to you.
