Snow at Ryde

Enjoy Fred Ward's unusual view of Ryde's Promenade in 1954 - when thick snow covered boats, gardens, roads, ornate shelters and the palm trees!

Fred Ward's amazing film starts in a snow covered garden before moving to the seafront at Ryde. Everything is covered in a heavy blanket of thick snow. Various landmark buildings like Ryde Castle are seen as well as the Promenade and sea wall. The thick snow covers palm trees, promenade shelters and rowing boats on the beach. The film ends with a solitary figure on the promenade and Ryde Pier in the distance.
