Dist:0.4km<br/>Located at 23 Medina Avenue in Newport, this portacabin is the meeting place for learner drivers to take their practical driving tests. It is the only such test centre on the Isle of Wight. For the theory test, learners would have to go to Portsmouth or Southampton to take it, as there is no theory test centre on the Island. Its postcode is PO30 1EL.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The main road through the estate suburb of Newport called Pan. Showing how close to the countryside this is, a horsebox is parked in a suburban drive.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The A3020 Ventnor to Newport road runs across the foreground with the B3401 to Carisbrooke running away from the camera. The river Medina runs under the bridge by the lamp post and behind the tyre depot. Its route is closely followed by the old Sandown to Newport railway line, now a cycle route but only as far as this point. Shide Corner here is generally reckoned to be the centre of the Isle of Wight, although a look at any map suggests it is a little too far north and east.

Dist:0.4km<br/>I presume the name is for the original owner. It is now converted. Round the back there is a water turbine and gear driven lineshaft in a locked lean-to. Although this can be appreciated from outside, meaningful photograpy is impossible.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Built in the late 270s and probably only used for 50 years or so as it did not undergo many modifications one would expect in a longer occupation. It has an exceptionally well preserved bath suite with (from the furnace end) a cauldarium, sudatorium, tepidarium and finally an unheated frigidarium.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This retail park to the east of Newport's town centre was built about ten years ago. The centrepiece is an 11-screen multiplex cinema operated by Cineworld. It is seen here from the bridge where Furrlongs crosses the River Medina.
