Apartment block on the site of Cowes railway station
I came to this location with the aim of photographing the same view as Image, although development of the area over the last 45 years and particularly in the last few years made that impossible. The area is now occupied by private apartments and access to the exact location of the earlier picture was not possible. This is as close as I could get. The rear of the older houses on the right can be seen on both photos and provide locational evidence. Cowes station signal box was immediately below the tallest of the group of older houses.

Apartments built on the site of Cowes Station
Seen from Granville Road Bridge, this view is looking towards the site of the station which was closed in 1966. The bridge and the houses on the left, which backed onto the railway, can be seen from the opposite direction in Image

Departure from Cowes
The railway no longer runs from Cowes, the line from here to Newport and Ryde having been closed in 1967. Part of the Newport - Ryde line is now operated by the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
I haven't visited the area for many years but according to my Explorer map, the road bridge on the left still survives.

Train from Ryde Pier Head at Cowes
View westward from near the barrier, towards Newport etc.: terminus of ex-Isle of Wight Railway branch from Newport, closed 21/2/66 (goods 16/5/66). The train is headed by ex-LSW Adams O2 class 0-4-4T No. W24 'Calbourne'. This stalwart was built in 12/1891 as No. 209, and shipped to the IoW in 4/25. It was not withdrawn until 3/67 and purchased the same year by the heritage Isle of Wight Steam Railway - and is still going strong - now 125 years old!

Having a chat at Cowes
A train from Ryde has just arrived, hauled by an unidentified class O2 locomotive. The gradient at Cowes allowed running round to be achieved by means of a gravity shunt. Sadly, I don't recall observing this.

Co-op store on the site of Cowes Railway Station
The station closed in 1966 and there is now little sign that it ever existed. Although viewed from a slightly different angle, Image, taken in 1963, was photographed from more or less where the Co-op store now stands.

The painted sign has been preserved on the old pub building even though it appears not to have been used as such for many years.
