A bewildering array of safety signing populates Network Rail sites nowadays.
In the background is the brick lined, 954 yard long Saltwood Tunnel, which takes the line on a constant descent towards Dollands Moor.

Newtown, Isle of Wight.
Newtown Harbour and Creek. The remains of the sea wall.
Newtown is the most ancient borough in the Isle of Wight. Its earlier name of Francheville (meaning a town holding its lands and tenements at a fixed rent, and free from obligation of performing any services to the Lord of the Manor except suit of court) indicates that it probably enjoyed municipal privileges before the Conquest. The first charter of which any record remains is that of Aymer de Valanee, Bishop Elect of Winchester, who founded this "New Town" in 1256, but the oldest charter still in existence is one granted by Edward II in 1318.

Newtown, Isle of Wight.
The Town Hall is the only remaining evidence to the one-time importance of Newtown. Built of brick with stone dressings, it stands on the foundations of an earlier building. It was built and paid for by public subscription in around 1699. The architect is unknown but various features such as the round headed windows, the stone dressings and the interior panelling point to such a date. The stone walls and windows of the basement formed part of the previous building, while the Gothick fenestration and four columned portico on the North front were probably added around the end of the l8th century. One of the last acts of the old corporation before it was dissolved was a restoration of the Town Hall in 1813, at a cost of £443.
After the dissolution of the council, it became a school, then a house and then an ivy clad ruin. In the 1930's a group called Ferguson's Gang, a group of anonymous individuals with names such as Bill Stickers, Shot Biddy and Sister Agatha, who were dedicated to halting sprawling development and preserving England's heritage puchased it (for £5) and an adjoining field (for £100). It was then restored at an estimated cost of £1000 and handed over to the National Trust.
