I have a postcard of The Fox Inn.
It is by a river and the date on the postmark is unclear, as is the place of posting. All that I can make out is I.O.W …OOD.
The card was sent to a person in Switzerland by (can only read the surname) ” … Manning”.
Does anyone know of such a person with that surname also was there ever a pub of that name in this area.
Thank you.

does any one remember Jack Manning at Cowes sec.?
I think he took art.
It was in the days of “bomb head”
Thank you for the interest but I no longer have the picture in my possession. Regards
Have you tried enquiring at the local records office ?
Any chance we could have this picture displayed on the Northwood website ?

Im sure a teacher at Cowes Secondary Modern School in the 60s was a Manning, Jack I think. Lived locally but of course not still alive today.
No, but at least it is a lead on where it is.
Just because it was posted on the Island doesn’t 100% mean the picture is of somewhere on the Island…
try mrs manning who runs the spiritualist church newport.
