The New Inn, Shalfleet Like many New Inns, it's quite old. A nice country pub with a garden terrace out the back for having a quiet pint in the sun.

The road through Shalfleet Quiet enough now, but the A3054 is not very wide at Shalfleet and unfortunately there are traffic lights here which can cause hold ups in the middle of this pleasant village.

Gone Forever The course of the Freshwater, Yarmouth & Newport Railway heading east from the old Ningwood station. Taken from the site of the road bridge; this was removed after the closure of the line when the roads were realigned. The FYNR opened in 1888 and closed in 1953. It was always an impecunious affair, even by Island standards! When the Southern Railway was formed in 1923 to amalgamate all the railways in the south of England, it refused to take on this liability until forced to do so, but having done so it did its best to improve the line and boost its fortunes, but to no avail.

Shalfleet is the largest village on the Newport to Yarmouth road. It is situated where the road crosses the Caul Bourne (one of the tributaries of the Newtown River), the narrow bridge being controlled by traffic lights. Looking east towards the bridge.

Ready for the new crops! A newly-ploughed field near Fleetlands Farm looking south towards Yatland Copse. This part of the Island's soil is fairly heavy clay.

The old railway station, Ningwood For railway aficionados the origin of the site is given away by the substantial concrete gatepost on the left and the lamp post on the right. The original station was quite small and substantial wings have been added since closure.
