Ryde
Ryde is a British seaside town and civil parish, and the most populous urban area on the Isle of Wight, with a population of about 32,250, reducing to 23,999 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Town Population 2011 )〕 It lies on the north-east coast. The town grew in size as a seaside resort after the villages of Upper Ryde and Lower Ryde were merged in the 19th century. The influence of this era is still strongly visible in the town's central and seafront architecture. As a resort, the town is noted for its expansive sands, which are revealed at low tide, making its pier necessary on the wide beach for a regular passenger service. Ryde Pier is a listed structure, and the fourth longest pier in the United Kingdom, as well as the oldest.〔(BBC - "Pier-ing into the future" )〕 ==History== In 1782 numerous bodies of men, women and children from HMS Royal George, which sank suddenly at Spithead, were washed ashore at Ryde. Many were buried on land that is now occupied by The Esplanade. A memorial to them was erected in June 2004.
