Historically, there were no pedestrian direction signs to Shanklin Theatre. Considering the growing importance of the Theatre to Shanklin and to the Isle of Wight, it was felt this oversight would be best corrected.
The Shanklin Theatre & Community Trust therefore ordered and funded three new ‘finger signs’, and, working closely in co-operation with Ian Middleton of Island Roads, the new signs were sited at strategic locations around the town to inform of the existence of the Theatre and also to point the way to the Theatre itself.
The new signs are now sited in Regent Street, by Shanklin Railway Station, Landguard Road, by Falcon Cross Hall, and at the junction of Palmerston Road, by the Shanklin Conservative Club.
