It was 10 years ago this month, on the day of the dead rubber against Costa Rica, that it appears I last visited the IOW.
It rather looks like it may have been my last from the write up

A Cheap Day Return To Shanklin
Nostalgia hasn’t had its day, and even the most mundane of places can become a home of many a special reflection. For me the Isle of Wight, as a child, was a place of magic, for it gave open season…

Indeed, a veritable small estate of streets named after places in the IOW (or possibly after small steam engines built in Brighton works around the time they were built!)

I am pretty sure its Culver down/Horseshoe bay that you see as cliffs which are the high bit to the south of Bembridge. If you focus in on the area just above the white cliff you can see a spike which I believe is the The Earl Yarborough's Monument...
