In East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Continuing my mission to capture as many English Heritage sites as I can. A fantastically windy day with 2 levels of clouds adding to the drama with this long exposure.
Osborne House is a former royal residence in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and rural retreat. Prince Albert designed the house himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo.

An English Heritage Property
Osborne House is a former royal residence East Cowes on the Isle of Wight, England. It was in purchased by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1845. The Solent reminded by Prince Albert of the Gulf of Naples, but the old house was too small for their needs, and the house was demolished and rebuilt by Thomas Cubitt in the Italianate style.
The house became a family home, as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were determined to bring their children up in a natural and loving environment. Within the grounds was a smaller structure, Swiss Cottage, which was where the royal children played and learned practical skills, such as cooking and farming. The children often entertained their parents here, and Queen Victoria used the simplicity of the cottage to deal with personal correspondence.
Following Prince Albert's death in 1861, Osborne became an effective mausoleum in his memory. Queen Victoria used the house as a retreat away from public life. She died there on 22 January 1901, and her son, King Edward VII, gave the house to the nation. It was used as a naval training school, and then a convalescent home for officers. During the Second World War, Adolf Hitler ordered that the estate was not to be bombed because he wanted to use it as a post-war retreat.

Ready for One Final Bow later today, July 5th, 2025.
I saw him the first time in 1977 with Black Sabbath when I was 17 and numerous times since, both as a solo act and with Sabbath. And I'll be watching one last time.

My good old buddy Hal before making his last run on the NF&G. - On September 22, 2021, I was glad to be in Greenbrier County, West Virginia to witness my good friend Hal Osbourne’s last trip to Meadow Creek. Hal was the last NF&G man still working, hired in 1981 and worked 40 years in the West Virginia coal fields. A well deserved retirement for sure!

Seu nome acaricia minha pele
como um arrepio que nunca quero silenciar.
Ele vive em meus lábios,
desliza sobre meu corpo,
aninha-se entre meus suspiros.
Sou sua no silêncio,
na sombra cálida dos meus pensamentos,
A view along the first floor external balcony that is above the “grand corridor” that links the main and household wings of Osbourne House, Isle of Wight, 18th October 2019.
In 1843 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were looking for a seaside retreat and the Osborne estate was recommended to them by the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel. The estate was initially leased, then bought in May 1845. As the existing house was too small Queen Victoria and Prince Albert commissioned the architect and master builder Thomas Cubitt to advise them. Cubitt recommended that rather than alter the old house it would be best to build a new one and proceeded to design it, in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo.in collaboration with Prince Albert.
The first phase of building was completed in 1846 with the Pavilion, housing the private rooms of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the royal nurseries. The household wing, containing accommodation for members of the royal household was completed in 1848. After the old house was demolished in 1848, the main wing was constructed on its site, completed in 1851. The main wing was used initially by the royal children. The terraces on the north-east side of the Pavilion and main wing were designed to complement the house and are filled with the signature features of classical Italian gardens. In 1880 a private chapel was built and in 1887 the male dormitory was extended to accommodate the Indian servants who made up part of the royal household during the later years of Queen Victoria’s reign. The Durbar Wing was built in 1890–92 which provided a large reception or dining room on the ground floor, known as the Durbar Room and a private suite for the queen’s youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice and her family on the first floor. Finally a dormitory for housemaids was built in 1894.
Following Queen Victoria’s death at Osbourne in 1901 the house became surplus to royal requirements and was given to the state, with a few rooms being retained as a private museum to Queen Victoria. From 1903 until 1921 it was used as a junior officer training college for the Royal Navy, known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne. This was followed by a succession of short-term tenants.
In 1954 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II gave permission for the public to be admitted to some of the rooms. In 1986 English Heritage assumed the management of Osborne and since then has carried out much external repair and internal redecoration and opened most of the main rooms.

I attended the Supernova cosplay and comic con convention at Homebush on Sunday 23rd June and met someone who looked very much like Ozzy Osbourne.

The Santa Train rounds Osbourne’s Curve, passing the iconic barn that has stood here for who knows how long. Say what you will about the CSX Heritage units, I think the CRR Unit was appropriate for the Santa Train.

February 12, 2011 - Saturday night, The Palace transformed into Heavy Metal Heaven as Ozzy Osbourne, AKA Iron Man/the Prince of Darkness, came to life as he became possessed by a set list spanning over 40 years of music, from Black Sabbath's 1970s "Paranoid" to his new single "Let Me Hear You Scream." This was in no way the mad slurring reality show star that we've come to know in recent years. Resurrected with the passion of the crowd and fueled by insane double bass beats played by Detroit-born drummer, Tommy Clufetos, Ozzy was a man in his element. Recently added guitar ninja, Gus G, performed endless solos working his blurred fingers across the frets in a fury of inhuman like precision. Die-hard fans lucky enough to have floor tickets were blasted by a thick white foam from Ozzy's canon as a backdrop of pyro lit the stage a hellish red hue. If you didn't receive a face full of foam, at least you took home some ringing ears and a fresh perspective on a living legend. Once again, Ozzy reigns forever into eternity as the Godfather of Metal.
