Houses and gardens on Egypt Hill
At about the steepest point on Egypt Hill, these new houses look out over the Solent. Their front gardens are densely planted with a multitude of brightly coloured flowers. Because of the wide angle needed, this image is two photographs joined together.

Rosetta Cottage
It was here that Lord Randolph Churchill met Jennie Jerome, during Cowes week 1873. The significance of that event? They were the parents of future British wartime leader Winston Churchill, born in 1874. The building is now owned by the National Trust and let as two holiday cottages, with a view behind us over the central part of The Solent.

Near Egypt Point
Egypt Point, the most northerly point of the Isle of Wight, is just behind us. We are looking east at two of the Southampton to Cowes ferries. As they are double ended it is difficult to tell which way they are going in a still photo. The one on the right is leaving the River Medina at Cowes, whilst the one on the left has come from Southampton and is waiting for the former to vacate the berth before it can enter Cowes.
