More about this scene

Victorian visitors had a number of inns to choose from when seeking sustenance in the town, some acting as fully-fledged hotels. A Victorian guidebook noted that 'the coach excursionist will be saved the trouble of choosing his quarters, as the coaches usually set him down at the Carisbrooke Castle or the Eight Bells'.
