8 carriage bodies (3 Metropolitan; 5 IoW of 1880s?) on sea front making up beach huts. Distinctive Met curved door top outlines clearly visible. Very little known of these five. Since 2002 all covered in shiplap cladding on the promenade side. 05/25: confirmed still in situ - apparently now disused. |
