Memories of Isle of Wight Railways
In 1945 Mike Jacobs visited the Isle of Wight for the first time and was captivated by the railway system, which he innocently believed at the time to be concentrated only at Ryde. Already addicted to the charm of the Island system, it was fortunate indeed when in 1954 the family moved to Ventnor, which was to cement his fascination with the railway system. Over the years, further visits followed, including trips on the Island line to Ventnor, Bembridge, Newport, and Yarmouth.
