Chapters include images from the world of work and wealth, childhood and school, the scourge of tuberculosis, the joys of leisure, and stories of  lives turned upside down by war, and the text includes stories from local people who over the years have recalled and recorded their own memories of life in Ventnor and the Undercliff, and donated them to the Society.
