| Once an insignificant village, but now a populous town of considerable celebrity as a fashionable watering place, is divided into upper and lower. The former stands on an eminence commanding a most delightful prospect, and is joined to the latter by a street consisting of handsome houses. |
| An elegant little Theatre has been erected, at a considerable expence, which is well frequented during the season. |
| The public library and reading rooms are of the first description, and well supported. |
| But one of the most important improvements of Ryde is the Pier, erected pursuant to an act of Parliament: the object of this Pier is to remedy the inconveniences of embarking and disembarking, which were previously very considerable. It extends from the quay down to low water mark, and is built on piles driven into the earth to a considerable depth; the surface Is partly covered with gravel, and a railing extends on each side the whole length of the pier. Several hundred feet were washed away by the high winds and tides in 1809, but it has since been completed on a more extended and secure plan. |
| Ryde is surrounded by elegant seats, the residences of the first nobility in the kingdom, among which are those of the Marquis of Buckingham, Earl Spencer, the Hon.C.A. Pelham, &c. &c. |
| This place may boast of every requisite for a summer residence, and bids fair top become the most fashionable watering place in the kingdom, as it already is the most convenient and beautifully picturesque. |
| The town of Ryde and Newchurch parish, contain a population of 3945. |
