Maps of Sandown
A Plan of Sandham Fort in the Isle of Wight
Coloured view of Sandown Fort not Sandham as the title suggests) and the surrounding area. The fort which is sometimes known as Granite fort’, was built in 1862 to house eighteen, nine inch. It was situated close to the beach in the centre of Sandown Bay, on a rock eighteen feet above sea level. Originally it houses eighteen nine inch guns however it was felt that conditions were too cramped and some of these were replaced with smaller guns. Additional fortifications were built at Yaverland, Sandown Banks and Redcliff to support Sandown Fort. The fort was sold in the 1930s and a Zoo was established on the site.

Description of the Isle of Wight
This map of the Isle of Wight dates from around 1600. It is titled on the reverse "Description of the Isle of Wight". A scale bar is included with the motif of dividers, stating ‘Scala Miliaria’, revealing that the map is drawn on a scale of half an inch to one mile. We can not be certain of the identity of the cartographer of this map but it may be one which is thought to have been produced by William White, which was then augmented and published by John Speed in his Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. Both this map and the Speed map exaggerate the width of waterways, the depth of bays and prominence of headlands, in a similar way. Such exaggerations suggest that this map was not the result of survey and was drawn by eye. The beacon network on the island is shown by pictorial representations of individual beacons. The Needles are represented by three squat triangles and labelled ‘The nedles’. The period during which this map was produced saw England at war with Spain. The emphasis on the beacon network suggests that the map is concerned with defence in this climate of unease. Since the accession of the Protestant Elizabeth I to the English throne in 1558 Anglo-Spanish relationship had deteriorated. The continued English raids on Spanish colonial interests and England’s support of the Protestant rebellion in the Spanish ruled Netherlands had induced the Catholic Philip II to plan an invasion of England. Although the Spanish were dramatically defeated by the English in 1588, England remained at war with Spain for many years and further attempts to invade were made by Philip of Spain with the dispersal of the ‘second Armada’ in October 1596 and the assembly of the ‘third Armada’ in the following spring.
