Ventnor flourished in the 19th century as a fashionable health resort, attracting visitors from across Britain seeking its clean air and mild climate. Many of the grand villas and terraces from that era still define the town’s look today. The Ventnor Heritage Centre tells the story of the town’s transformation from a fishing village into a stylish resort, whilst photographs and artefacts depicting the local history of Ventnor's beach & Longshoremen can be found at the Longshoreman’s Museum.
