Shared Memories of Cowes
 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 |

 Cowes, Old Houses 1927 (ref: 80465) |
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 |
