as going to be seat with a view, but the seat faces platform 2, which has no track bed.
The view is of Culver Down the building (Culver Fort or Culver Battery) is created from local brick. One of the many Palmerston Forts build on the Island to protect us and the overners from a French invasion.
The other interesting fact about the station it is just about the level of the river Yar. The land just the over side of the station formed a sea way 'Haven' in Henry VIII time, with sea going vessels unloading goods in Brading. Charles II also arrived by sea 1665, later to be held in Carisbrooke Castle.
Day to day life and muse postings and anything else I would like to share my world with you. General anything that equals forty-two or majorly upsets my state of equilibrium e.g. less than or greater than forty-two.
