WATCH: We could have purchased Brownsea Island in 1962 for just £250k
A YOUTUBE video provides an insightful look at Brownsea Island in 1962.
Posted by British Pathé on the video hosting website, the footage takes viewers on a tour of the island.
The narrator - typical of the type used in the 1960s - points out that the island could have been purchased for £250,000 (£4.6 million in today's money).
Brownsea Castle and St Mary's Church make an appearance in the video.
