Underwater again, this time during 1986. Taken on one of the wreck sites near the western rocks, Jim Heslin (left) and Terry Hiron holding artifacts whilst floating above a cannon.
No date, but here's a fantastic old Gibson photo of...Bryher Fete! (aparently I'm going for a rhyming thing this evening)
One from the late 1940s, taken on St Mary's quay. Looks like Gloria right at the back, little unsure about the other two!
A couple of dive related ones here. Taken in the mid 80s by Paul Armiger, here's a canon being recovered!
I'm not sure on the exact date on this one, but I think it may be 1986/87. Primary school field trip to Porth Hellick, St Mary's.
Admittedly not the most thrilling photo that's been on here, but here is one of the short lived bowling alley at the Lock, Stock and Barrel (now Old Town Inn) which I'm sure quite a few will have fond memories of! Taken during 1995.
1993, something a little different. A peaceful evening photographed from Peninnis. One of those photos that I try and avoid as it could have been taken yesterday (but it was 1993, honest!).
It's been a while since we had a newspaper clipping on here, so here's August '77; when the Islands were moved 250ft west, and 255ft north!
The @salvationarmy band visit the islands during 1993, you can spot the old fish and chip van in the background too!
Snapped back in 1971, the cornish stile at Peninnis, St Mary's. Used to love clambering over this as a child...and some things never change!! :)
