More about this scene

The narrow streets of Cowes are typical of many southern English coastal towns, designed for use rather than ornament. As befits a sailing town, a number of shops have always been given over to yacht chandlery and provisions.

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
