Winford, Isle of Wight

Winford is a village on the south-east coast of the Isle of Wight near Sandown.

The pipes supplying Winford with water are being replaced as part of a massive upgrading of the infrastructure supplying water to the Isle of Wight. In addition, two huge pipes supplying the Isle of Wight with water from the main part of England are being replaced, and water pipelines are being extended in the south of the island.
