Havenstreet is the Isle of Wight Steam Railway's focal point. The platform and station buildings incorporating the signal box were constructed by the Southern Railway in 1926, the station becoming the passing place for all trains between Ryde and Newport. Trains still pass here on high season days when a two train service is being operated. A water tower, brought from Newport Station in 1971, is located alongside the Up platform; all trains in the Smallbrook direction take water here before they depart. HFF.

The Swiss Cottage was built for Queen Victoria & Prince Albert's young children between 1853 and 1854. Hidden in the woods on the Osborne estate it has its own gardens and a museum filled with wonderful objects and specimens from around the world. This two-story wooden chalet was the young royals’ favourite place at Osborne, along with the beach. Here they enjoyed happy times while on their holidays playing and learning new things. Osborne House, Isle of Wight.
