Scilly-lovers are invited to take a trip down memory lane with a new website.
A regular visitor has set up a project charting the changing face of the Islands.
The Scilly Little Changes website features photographs of the Islands through the years.
The site is the brainchild of Henry Ellis, a 27-year-old Search Engine Optimiser living in London.
‘I came up with the idea after my last visit at Easter this year,? Henry told Scilly News. ‘I’ve been holidaying in Scilly since the early 80s, though my parents honeymooned there and a few of my relatives have lived on the islands at various times.?
‘I noticed that I seem to take a lot of similar photos each time I visit, and decided to look back through some of my parent’s shots to see if they had any similar ones.
‘It turns out they did, and I began to see that it can be really interesting to compare and contrast how the islands have changed over the years - particularly familiar landmarks and places.?
Visitors to the site are invited to share some of their own photos to add to the collection.
‘I love everything about Scilly,? said Henry. ‘I’m hoping if the site gets popular it will give me an excuse to go back every year!?
The site is an offshoot of Scillyholiday.co.uk, which contains original photography, commentary and resources about the Islands.
