Up Nevis circa 1720 Fauna circa 1720


On these pages are shown photographs taken around Nevis in past decades, juxtaposed with photos taken 'today' from exactly the same spot, to show how even over a relatively short period of time the environment of Nevis has changed, sometimes quite radically. 

As always we welcome any photos our members may have in their personal collections that are appropriate for this section.  Full photo credits will of course be given to all materials displayed.  Please click on Photos to enlarge.

Right: Is a fairly high resolution arial photo of Charlestown and surrounds taken by the US Air Force in 1946.  It is a large file 6.9 mb, so you will have to download it to see it clearly.  You can see Fort Charles, Charlestown (opposite the pier) and Pinney's Beach...notice how long and wide the beach is?
