Isle Of Wight memories
I lived in Newport with my Mom Gladys, Father Jock and sisters Tina, Trisha and Jacky. We lived in Prospect Road for many years.

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]
