On 10 April 1912, Titanic left Southampton and sailed down Southampton Water and through the Solent, passing Cowes / Isle of Wight on the way toward Cherbourg. This “Titanic passing Cowes” moment is well documented in period photography. @VisitIOW @ilovecowes @MikeCoxCowes

Just got to work @VisitTheNeedles , no snow but if anyone wants any ice 🧊, give me a shout On a serious note, take care driving and especially walking, a bit icy in some places I gave the seagull a 7 for marks, feathers were not straight and back posture needs improvement

❤️The @VisitTheNeedles Sand Shop❤️ Filling a glass or plastic shape with layers of Alum Bay’s 21 shades of sand has been a tradition since the mid-1800s when Queen Victoria was presented with a special souvenir. Today, it’s a fond childhood memory for many. Join in this
