Seaview, Starboard Club And Quay Rocks Hotel c.1960

I moved to Seaview in 1983 from Kent, the magical feeling Seaview had and the few minutes walk from our house to Seagrove Bay was wonderful. I worked for the Flamingo Park for a short time and then at the Seaview Hotel where I was the Receptionist. I didn't know how lucky I was as we later moved back to the mainland, and although we live in Lymington it is not a patch on the Isle of Wight. I often visit ...see more

I have been told that Jim Mollison (pilot), husband of Amy Johnson (also pilot), used to frequent the Starboard Club. Can anyone remember where he stayed in Seaview?

It isn't really my memory, as it was before my time. My grandfather, was the owner of the Starboard Club and my father was born on the top floor in 1963. I have no memories myself, only those that my father has told me. He grew up in Seaview until my grandfather sold the club in the early 70's and moved the family to Cambridge. Our family does not have many photos from that time and as this is the first photo I have found, I thought I would comment on it.
