Steve, who runs the excellent Isle of Wight Historic Postcards website wrote to us today asking for help to identify the location of the steps in this postcard.
We’re pretty sure the photo is of the steps that lead up to The Pitts from Bonchurch Village Road, starting by the public toilets.
Having been up and down them a few times now, from memory we think there are 102 steps in total.
They do look slightly different in this postcard, but it was taken a long time ago.
If you believe they are from another location in Bonchurch, do let us know and we’ll pass the info onto Steve.
His website is well worth a look by the way. He has a great collection of historic postcards from all over the Island.
