Hi Louise While I was answering your A-Z of IOW i was looking at a census return for one of my 'people' supposedly in Brixton, IOW. Ive never heard of this and wondered if you have. I would guess the closest place name is Brighstone!? Sarah

There is a Brighstone in IOW. Down to the south West of Newport, but not on the coast. (My old AA map says).

Thanks Andy. And thanks again Louise. I agree Brighstone is gorgeous. My nan lived there until a couple of years ago. The whole of the Island is BOOOTIFUL, especially in the summer! Sarah
