  Yarmouth, Isle of Wight
Yarmouth, Isle of Wight is famous as a yachting centre, its harbour jam-packed with boats seven months of the year.
In spite of such indignities the people of Yarmouth, Isle of Wight enjoyed some more practical benefits, including the construction of the bridge across the river Yam and the building of its pier, which was completed in 1876.
Yarmouth has its limitations imposed by its position -with the sea on one side, the Yar on the west and marshy land to the south prevented any great expansion in size, and the population today is not much more than, 1,000 (compared with about 600 at the beginning of the 19th century).
