Ventnor railway station
Ventnor railway station was the terminus of the Isle of Wight Railway line from Ryde. The station lay on a ledge 294 feet above sea level which had to be quarried into the hill side. The station was immediately outside a 1,312 yards long tunnel through St. Boniface Down. A lack of space meant that a turntable was used to allow steam engines to runaround their trains. In later years this was replaced by a three way switch.
