Former railway tunnel, Cowes
This image was taken at the site of the former Mill Hill station in Cowes. The station closed in 1966. Nevertheless, the platform edge is still visible, leading to the mouth of a tunnel which took the railway towards its terminus in the centre of Cowes. This end of the former station is now a small park.
More information about Mill Hill station can be found on the Disused Stations website: http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/m/mill_hill/index.shtml
