Coloured postcard showing a watercolour view of Sandown harbour with beach huts and the promenade, and the future site of Battery Gardens visible in the distance. Ink: [personal message, scored through] [address in St Albans supplied, and scored through]. The Sandown Battery was constructed between 1861 and 1863, and was maintained as a gun post until the First World War, after which it was deemed superfluous and handed to the local authority by 1930. After the Second World War the site was developed as a public garden
