Ventnor Remembered

Daphne Carter was a longstanding member of Ventnor & District Local History Society who, during the 1980s and 1990s, photographed the people, buildings, streets and landscape of our area.  Her collection of thousands of images is now being made available on a dedicated website, Ventnor Remembered, a project undertaken and developed by Friends of Ventnor Library, supported by the Society and enabled by a grant from Down to the Coast.  Daphne died on 2017; the photograph here shows working on an exhibition in the Heritage Museum in 2004.

The Globe Inn

The Globe Inn stood at 63-67  Ventnor High Street, on part of the site that is now the Central Car Park.  It dated from at least the 1840s, and there is mention of Chartists meeting in a large room at the hotel at about that time. Badly damaged in a 'hit and run' bombing raid in 1942,  it was demolished in 1943.
