Disaster !!!

The Osborne View has gone.

What a disaster for the Hill Head area, the local residents, and for folks like me that have many memories centred on The Osborne View.

With its unique location, virtually on the beach, and magnificent views.

Overlooking the busy Solent with its everchanging maritime views the Osborne View was the ideal location to sit and absorb the action. Watching people on the beach, the ships, or the myriad sailing boats. Never boring.

Over many years, this pub was the venue for evening meals, lunches, and just for drinks with friends and family.

We have even celebrated the occasional birthday  here.

I hope they rebuild and, if they do, that they retain the character and atmosphere of the original.
