Ryde is an English seaside town and civil parish on the Isle of Wight, with a population of 32,072 at the 2011 Census. It lies on the north-east coast.

The influence of this era is still strongly visible in the town's central and seafront architecture.

The area's character changed with the construction of the Appley housing estate - a development of mainly detached houses and bungalows, built on either side of the B3330 Ryde to St Helens road. The names of the roads on the estate relate mostly either to proximity of the sea or refer to Cumbrian lakes . The area to the north of the Appley housing estate is now a public park, with the Solent beyond. The stone-built tower by the sea wall dates from the days this land was the property of the Hutt family, as does the parkland itself, the latter being laid out to a design by Humphry Repton in 1798. In 2008, Appley Park b...
