 Sandown, the Beach c1950 (ref: S57019) |
Year: 1950
Summer Holidays A memory of Sandown, Isle of Wight Many of my childhood summer holidays were spent at Sandown. We usually stayed at Mrs. Woodnutt's hotel in Carter Street. Mr. Woodnutt hired out the deck chairs on Sandown Beach. He also kept ferrets and I was allowed to go and help him look after them. One of our family's favourite places was the miniature golf course pictured. It was called Brown's as was the canoe lake next door. Browns made the most delicious ice cream, very welcome after following the grown-ups around the pitch and putt course. Oh the joy when I was deemed old enough to have a putter, ball and score card of my own! Last edited: 04/10/2006 20:43 by Eileen Hammond |

 Bembridge, the Royal Spithead Hotel c1955 (ref: B64012) |
Year: 1960
Happy Days A memory of Bembridge, Isle of Wight Seeing this picture of the Spithead Hotel has taken me back to my childhood in Bembridge. I have very happy memories playing with my friend Carola who was the owner's daughter. We would play for hours in this hotel making up endless games, hiding in all the rooms and having great fun although sometimes it was a bit spooky out of season when we had the whole hotel to our selves. Happy days. Last edited: 11/08/2008 14:47 by Peta Brooksbank |

 Bembridge, High Street c1955 (ref: B64022) |
Year: 1952
Bembridge my home A memory of Bembridge, Isle of Wight I was born in Seaview but my mother and grandparents lived at "erndene' Steyne rd. I went to the Bembridge villiage school and attended the villiage church. I was free to roam the villiage aand beaches at will as the villiage was very safe for children. I and my family would swim at Lane end and at Forelands and Howegate, We would look for winkles and crabs and also would go mushrooming on the downs. My father was a pilot so we spent time at the Bembridge airport. We lived part of the time on Toad Hall houseboat on the harbour. My mother taught me to love Bembridge and she knew it very well(as did I) She knew the names of all the wildflowers and where all the birdsnests were and she taught me to respect the sea and the tides. What an idealic upbringing it was, I have only the fondest memories. Posted: 10/12/2007 19:14 by Lesley Phillips |

 Seaview, Pier Hotel 1918 (ref: 68262) |
Year: 1960
MY FIRST JOB A memory of Seaview, Isle of Wight I worked at the Pier Hotel in the summer of 1960. It was my first job. I was a commis waiter ..didn't really like it at all...but I was billeted out at a nearby village. I had my first drunk drinking scrumpy mixed with cheap red wine with Italian waiters from the hotel in the pub in Seaview..an experience which brought me great suffering and required my taking the next day off work in order that I would not die ! I also was fortunate to meet a lovely Dutch young woman,Riet Berendsen, 4 years my senior, who was an au pair girl at the hotel. We kissed and held hands on the sea wall. We saw each other briefly in London after the summer but I was too immature for things to progress any further...oh to turn the clock back !! Posted: 28/01/2008 03:12 by Dylan Rivis |

 Ryde, Railway Station c1955 (ref: R76028X) |
Year: 1970
An underground train on the Isle of Wight A memory of Ryde, 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. However one memory that sticks out is the strange but true experience of riding on old London Transport tube trains which had been brought over to the Isle of Wight to run an electric train service from Ryde Pier to Shanklin. I took some colour photos which I still have all these forty years later and it looks to me as though the tube rains had been painted a sort of greeny-blue colour. It was an enjoyable short holiday mostly remembered for this odd experience of our journey on a tube train by the sea! Posted: 09/09/2008 21:24 by John Howard Norfolk |
