Lower Hyde Farm
I can remember staying in a caravan at Lower Hyde farm, we used to go there lots when I was a kid in the 1960s. I can still remember staying there when England won the World Cup, not that it meant a lot to me then! I remember mum sending dad over to the clubhouse to watch the match... Coming from East London it really felt like we were in the country, it was lovely. I took my own kids back to this site about 15 years ago, it was unrecognisable to me (and my mum) it had been taken over by some large 'Haven' type Company... We used to have some lovely holidays in Shanklin. We also stayed at Fawleys guest house in Hope rRoad, didn't enjoy that as much as the caravan though. Mum did as it meant no cooking for a fortnight:)

RE: RE: Lower Hyde Farm
Please can somebody tell me what the building is with the sign on the top of the wall? I have a honeymoon photo of my great grandparents taken on a horse and coach around 1890. The sign says .....ish's Family Hotel. The first part of the sign is obscured. I'd love to know if that is the same building some twenty years later, and where it is - if it still stands.
