Carisbrooke Village, Isle of Wight, Hampshire, England. October 1912. This evocative photograph captures the picturesque charm of Carisbrooke Village on the Isle of Wight in Hampshire, England. Dated to October 1912, this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the early 1910s. The quaint cottages, with their thatched roofs and whitewashed walls, exude a timeless appeal. The cobblestone streets, lined with trees, add to the village's idyllic character. In the foreground, a horse-drawn cart makes its way through the village, adding a sense of movement and life to the scene. Carisbrooke Village, located on the western side of the Isle of Wight, has a rich history dating back to the Roman times. Its name is derived from the Old English words "caer" meaning fortified place and "broc" meaning brook. The village was once the site of a Roman fort and later served as a royal residence during the Norman Conquest. Despite its historic significance, Carisbrooke Village remains a quintessential English village, with its close-knit community and stunning natural beauty. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, farmland, and the English Channel, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. This photograph, taken in October 1912, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and charm of Carisbrooke Village as it was over a century ago.
