 East Cowes, the Floating Bridge c1955 (ref: E139007) |
Year: 1961
Going to School
I have lived in Australia now for over 40 years. I still have very fond memories of my walk from Grenville Close to West Cowes High school as a 13yr old. The floating bridge was where I had my first smoke and my first kiss!!!! How I miss East Cowes and its natural beauty, if you were at West Cowes High school in 1961 - 1964 drop me a line. clemo10@iprimus.com.au Last edited: 10/09/2006 19:17 by Steve Clements |

 Cowes, High Street c1965 (ref: C173086) |
Year: 1950
Hell and high water!
I worked in my Aunts ladies wear shop (Kays), and remember being flodded when heavy rain combined with high tide caused the shop to have water running through from back to the front with my friend Maureen and myself sweeping the ensuing water out of the front door. In those days the floor was bare board and it soon dried out. As it was summer we thought it was good fun and no harm was caused. Posted: 12/12/2007 17:26 by June Jackson |

Change of use.
The building on the left became an amusement arcade in the early 1950s and then a dental surgery. Later it was demolished and replaced by a new building of flats and a new HQ related to Cowes week which was opened by Prince Philip in 2005. Posted: 06/04/2006 16:20 by The Frith Memory Archivist |

Family connections.
My father Mr Jim Rush is at the far right of this photo in a light shirt, looking rather windswept. At this time he was the proprietor of the Pavilion Hotel and also for a short time the owner of the Alexander Hall which he ran as a dance hall. Posted: 06/04/2006 16:20 by Mrs J Padfield |
