WHERE  IS  IT  NOW  ?

Used as a collecting box for the RNLI this model of Noah's Ark stood for many years at Ventnor Station

Following the Stations closure in 1966 the model was exhibited at The Treasure House Museum in Godshill to be seen later at Woking and later still in Bristol

But where is it now ?

We have many enquiries regarding its location - Any information would be gratefully appreciated

The next unveilings in the current series of

Commemorative Plaques

will mark the literary and artistic associations of

'Winterbourne'

and the site of

'Ventnor Mill'
