Year: 1961
Going To School
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 Last edited: 10/09/2006 19:17 by Steve Clements |

Hell And High Water! A memory of Cowes, Isle of Wight 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. A memory of Cowes, Isle of Wight 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 |

Lydia And Wendy A memory of Binstead, Isle of Wight I worked in the big hotel in Sandown, and a couple of hotels on the very seafront with two girls from Binstead, what fun we had, laughter and tears went together. I've lost touch with them but would love to hear what they are up to now and where they live. I remember Browns boating lake in Sandown, and one of the hotel managers on the front named Ken, and Itl the chipl who worked in the kitchen. The stadd were a very happy lot, Lydia and Wendy were very good friends to me, Wendy's mother worked in a shoe shop in Ryde, they lived opposite each other in a close at Binstead in council houses. I also took holidays at Brambles Chine Holiday Camp when I was very young, and remember the rambles across the downs and walking to Freshwater, they were such happy carefree days. I've always thought what a pretty place the Isle of Wight is, also visits to Osbourne House. So please, Wendy and Lydia, if you read this get in touch with me, I have lived in Malta 21 years now, by the sea in St Pauls Bay. The name of the big hotel in Sandown where we all met was called the Sandringham. Last edited: 28/07/2008 15:48 by Patricia Hamilton |
