Introduction
I used to belong to Bembridge Forum and I am delighted to find this one. I was born at St. Mary's in 1952 and my surname was Hobson. I lived in Bembridge until I was nearly 2 when we moved to Lake after the railway closed at Bembridge. My parents ran the Tollgate Cafe until then. My Dad, Bob Hobson, was in a wheelchair after a motorbike accident. His Mum kept Carisbrooke House hotel in Sandown. My parents bought a house in Denness Road and did B & B. My Dad died when I was 5 and Mum (Sheila nee Brooks) did various jobs to pay the mortgage. She was a dinner lady, washed up at a hotel, was a theatre usherette at Sandown and cleaned a Bank. All at the same time! When I was 14 we moved to Bembridge to a prefab. Mum had inherited. I married in 1974 and moved to West Sussex.
