High Street, Niton The road from Chale to Niton was built as a diversionary inland route following the collapse of the previous coastal road between Niton and Blackgang in 1928. It is of similar construction and is mostly from the same time period as the stretch to the west of Chale (The Isle of Wight Military Road http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/10058 ) which was re-built and upgraded at this time but this length of road is not usually covered by the term 'Military Road' and its name on street maps and signs is different.
