Cowes
Cowes is an English port town as well as civil parish on the Isle of Wight. Cowes is situated on the west bank of the tidewater of the River Medina, dealing with the smaller sized community of East Cowes on the east financial institution. The two communities are linked by the Cowes Drifting Bridge, a chain ferry. The population was 9,663 in the 2001 census, which doubled during the regatta in very early August. The population at the 2011 census was 10,405. Charles Godfrey Leland's 19th century knowledgeables describe the towns poetically as "The two terrific Cowes that in loud rumbling roar/This on the eastern, that the western shore". Cowes has actually been viewed as a house for international yacht auto racing because the starting of the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1815. It provides its name to the globe's earliest normal regatta, Cowes Week, which takes place yearly in the very first week of August. Later on, powerboat races are held. Much of the community's style is still greatly influenced by the design of ornate building that Prince Albert popularised.
