Isle Of Wight memories
Grandmother's abode
At the bottom of the hill on the right I believe that tall building belonged to the local bakers. The low building next to it - this side of the bakers - is a thatched cottage where my grandmother lived. My mother grew up here. The cottage housed around 3/4 families but it has now been made into one home. Over the years the thatched cottage has also been a restaurant. I visited my grandparents many times at this cottage.

Ventnor
I was born in Ventnor and although I have lived in Kent for many years Ventnor will always be "My home".

Going to school
I walked past these houses every day to and from school from 1956 to 1959 when my family lived at Marsh Green.

Our House!
Our house is the second left and I was about 8 when this was taken. The field in front of the houses is now the site of the Methodist Chapel.
