Isle Of Wight memories
An underground train on the Isle of Wight
I went on a youth hostelling trip to the Isle of Wight in 1969 with my young brother Geoff and indulged our interest in trains by walking along the railway track of disused old steam train routes.

I worked in the big hotel in Sandown, and a couple of hotels on the very seafront with two girls from Binstead, what fun we had, laughter and tears went together. I've lost touch with them but would love to hear what they are up to now and where they live. I remember Browns boating lake in Sandown, and one of... [more]

The High Street leads to Shooters Hill, which was once a very swampy area. The buildings are shaped here to follow the curve of the road. The first shop on the right is now a florist. Morgans, 'Complete House Furnishers', has become the Alamo restaurant and bar. Opposite from the bottom of the hill up, are Chiverton's Newsagents, Bath Travel, an Italian restaurant... [more]

Opposite the Vectis Tavern is Terminus Road, where the Newport to Cowes Railway Company built its station in 1862. The last train from Cowes ran in 1966, and all traces of the station have disappeared. Past the Vectis Tavern was the National Provincial Bank. The Commercial Inn still stands, but is now Murrays Seafood Restaurant, favoured by many yachtsmen. Next door to Murrays was... [more]
