A Trip to New Milton and Barton-on-Sea, Hampshire - 27th November 2008

Nosher, Isobel and Fred are down in New Milton to catch up with some friends and relatives. The first stop is a visit a few of the old childhood haunts of New Milton and Barton on Sea seafront, to show Fred around and to have a general poke about to see what's changed recently - and to see where they've managed to stick yet more flats.

Nosher's favourite bookshop is sadly closed

Station Road is not much changed since the 1980s

The Post Office - just like a model railway building

The old Woolworths

Bradbeers is another shop from the olden days

R. H. Fagan - keepin' it Old Skool

Another sad sight of the New Milton Bookshop

The ever-sleeping Fred

A rock spiral on the beach

An 80s attempt to stop slumping is pushed away

The remains of a house sticks out of the cliffs

Isobel stands on the path and waits

More building remains

The Isle of Wight and the Needles

A café sign without an obvious café to go with it

A rock groyne and the sea

Beach huts on Barton Beach

A woman struggles up the hill

Inside the Beachcomber Café

Isobel with Fred, who's still asleep

It's getting dark over at Will's Mother's

As the rain closes in, we sit in the car

Barton houses in a blurry wing mirror

Over at Sean's Sydney and Rowan play with Fred

Isobel with the baby
