  • The Needles Old Battery, Isle of Wight
    The Needles Old Battery, Isle of Wight Building Design Guide n air source heat pump The Needles Old Battery n installation of insulation and secondary glazing Installation of modern heating technology n engagement with visitors March 2010 Background Installation of modern heating technology The Needles Old Battery is positioned high up on the exposed headland of the far west coast of the Isle of The Needles Old Battery, Wight. It is the site of a twentieth century brick Isle of Wight cavity-walled building currently used as a tearoom for visitors, office and storage space for staff, and additional exhibition and viewing spaces looking out over the sea. The building had single glazed metal casement windows with no roof insulation. Some rooms were considered almost unusable for staff during cold weather, even with the heating on. Heating was supplied by an oil-fired boiler; however the National Trust fuel hierarchy considers oil the least acceptable in favour of any other fuel type. An internal Compliance Audit highlighted the oil system as a risk to the site given the local area’s designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and funding was offered for its removal. The ‘Needles Sustainable Energy Feasibility Study’ recommended replacement of the oil boiler with an air source heat pump (ASHP) as a means of reducing CO2 emissions. In February 2009, the oil boiler finally broke down and the parts needed for repairs were unavailable, thus intensifying the urgent need for the project.

This new battery was constructed on higher ground overlooking the old battery 390ft. above sea level facing north-west. Administrative buildings were sited behind the battery and underground magazines were fitted between the gun emplacements. Two 9.2-inch BL Mark IX were fitted in 1900 and the third was considered unnecessary. It was in place by 1904. Two 3pr. QF guns were fitted between the centre and northern emplacements for practice use but were removed in 1907.

  • Thomas Rowlandson
    Page from Victorian publication on Rowlandson Rowlandson’s first documented tour of the Isle of Wight was made in 1784. Travelling with his friend, Henry Wigstead, they crossed the Solent from Lymington to Yarmouth and returned via Cowes to Portsmouth. This reprint of Rowlandson’s paintings from the 1784 tour was made circa 1891. This late Victorian publication shows the lasting appeal of Rowlandson’s work. Many of his drawings have been reprinted over the years, promoting the idea of the attractiveness of the Isle of Wight for a leisurely tour. Six miles from Yarmouth - Alum Bay, the famous and brilliant coloured sands running down the rocks forms the most beautiful effects. A general view of the Isle of Wight, looking from the extreme western point. Cowes harbour, in the Isle of Wight (detail). Text from the print Yarmouth afforded our artist another subject for his study. Alum Bay, six miles distant, was found no less attractive, & the effects of it’s coloured sands suggested a picture. Among the rocks there, a picnic was enjoyed by the party, on the tableland, at the summit of a boulder, 30 feet high, the travellers “spread their tablecloth & dined on pigeon pie etc”. Thereby refreshed, Rowlandson went to work with renewed energy, and from the extreme western point, produced a “general View of the Isle of Wight”, this excursion was fruitful in drawings: we have a panorama of “The Needles”; another version – “The Needles Rocks”, from the sea, “Saint Christopher’s Rock; a stupendous white cliff, said to be 500 feet perpendicular to the sea” (wrote the artist), Freshwater Bay”, & a separate study “Rocks near Freshwater”.

    The Harris Family Eldon House, London Ont . c of the. BARBER'S PICTURESQUE GUIDE TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT; ILLUSTRATED BY FORTY-FIVE VIEWS AND MAPS ENGRAVED ON STEEL. INCLUDING A GEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE ISLAND BY DR. MANTELL. COMPLETED TO THE END OF 1850. LONDON: HENRY G. BOHN, YORK STREET, COVENT GARDEN. 1850. PA W663 / ISO 642751 PREFACE AMONG the many gratifying and characteristic fea- tures of the present age, one of the most pleasing has been the unprecedented encouragement of that class of literary and artistic productions, in which the pen of the historian and the pencil of the draughtsman combine to produce pleasure and instruction. And, amid the varied efforts made, at once to gratify and to stimulate this rapidly growing taste, none have been more successful than the production of illustrated works as Guides to the Tourist and Valetudinarian, in a search after health or pleasure among the places of public resort. As one of those who have laboured to keep pace with " the spirit of the age," and with the view of promoting that ardent love of the beautiful so generally manifested, the Proprietor originally produced this work, confidently relying upon the beauty and correctness of its designs, the accuracy and spirit of its descriptions, and the su- perior excellence of its general execution, to substantiate its claims upon a discerning public. The unparalleled suc- cess with which his efforts have been rewarded, during the period that has elapsed since its first publication, has more than realized his brightest hopes; and he has en- deavoured to prove himself worthy of the encouragement he has received, by constantly introducing into the pages of his volume notices of such changes as have been con- tinually taking place, and making such additions to his numerous illustrations as the growing interest attach- 11 ing to various parts of the island has demanded.

    *Manuscript Click here to view linked References Geology, landscape and human interactions: Examples from the Isle of Wight 1 2 K. A. Booth 1, J. Brayson 1 3 4 1 5 British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK. 6 7 Abstract: 8 9 The British Geological Survey has recently re-mapped the Isle of Wight at a scale of 1:10,000. This 10 11 has added to a wealth of geological research already published. Within this paper, we highlight the 12 importance of geology to the heritage of the Isle of Wight and its impacts on everyday life. There is 13 a growing cultural awareness of the variety of landscapes and resources, the geology that underpins 14 15 them, and the need to manage and understand them in a sensitive and sustainable way. 16 ‘Geodiversity’, which collectively embraces these themes, is defined as “…the natural range 17 (diversity) of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (land form, processes) and soil 18 19 features…” (Gray, 2004). This paper will focus on the geomorphological features; that is, the link 20 between geology, the landscape it influences, and the human interactions with it. Examples from the 21 Isle of Wight of the influences of geology on landscape include the landslides at Ventnor; geotourism 22 23 at The Needles, Alum Bay and various dinosaur sites; and the artificial landscapes resulting from 24 resource extraction. The geological issues and examples that we have used are some of the most 25 26 applicable to everyday life, and therefore ones that many people will be able to relate to, such as 27 geohazards (e.g.

  • Observations on the Littoral Algae of the Isle of Wight
    J. mar. biol. Ass. U.K. (1958) 37, 769-780 Printed in Great Britain OBSERVATIONS ON THE LITTORAL ALGAE OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT By JOANNA M. KAIN Marine Biological Station, Port Erin, Isle of Man (Text-figs. 1-4) As a result of the geological formation of the Isle of Wight there is a great variety in the type of shore. Although much of the coastline is unsuitable for the establishment of algal communities there are some parts where a few species can exist, and others where full zonation is achieved. It therefore seemed worth making some study of the algal distribution. Towards this end a general survey was made of the south coast of the island in April 1955, with more detailed studies of the places of interest by means of transects in April and July 1955. Previous observations on the algal flora include a list of records given by Morey (1909), and additions to it made by Delf & Grubb (1923) and Norkett (1947). 111 the present investigation the nomenclature used is that given in the Check Lists of Parke (1953) and of Hendey (1954). The observations presented are limited to the most common algae. The behaviour of the tide around the Isle of Wight is unusual. In the English Channel the shallow water produces a quarter-diurnal harmonic curve superimposed on the semi-diurnal. From Swanage to the Nab Tower the phases are in a relationship such that a double or prolonged high water is produced. In the Isle of Wight the effect is strongest in the west, where also the tidal range is lowest.
