Isle of Wight Nostalgia - In and around Ventnor - page 2

This view is taken as you enter the town from Bonchurch. The view is very attractive at this point.

This telephone kiosk, illuminated by the afternoon sun, is located by the Church in Ventnor.

A telephoto view of the cliffs to the north.

Mellow rooftops!

The 'Rex' cinema building in 2000. Fire has damaged part of the building - the rear can be seen collapsing in this view! I'm not sure when films were last shown here but the building has served as an amusement arcade for a few years and an indoor kiddies attraction in the 1980's.

The Rex has been demolished in May (I think) 2001 as this view shows..

More cliff erosion near Ventnor.

View along the esplanade from the old pier.

A fine view of the old pier from the cliffs by the Winter Garden.

The local authority had a sense of humour. Anyone fancy the trip to France? They lost their good humour and demolished the pier.

An attractive gate; Part of Ventnor Holiday Villas.

Spot the bus.

Burts beer delivery to the Mill Bay pub.
