Isle of Wight Nostalgia - Guest Gallery - Ivy Sulkowska

All the photographs on this page have been supplied by Ivy Sulkowska. They show the dockyards, so important during the war. Because of this the town suffered in air raids and there was much damaged. Ivy can be contacted by email. Thanks Ivy for sharing these!
