Yarmouth
Yarmouth is a community, port and also civil parish in the west of the Isle of Wight, off the south shore of England. The town is called for its location at the mouth of the tiny Western Yar river. The town grew near the river going across, initially a ferry, which was replaced with a road bridge in 1863. Yarmouth is among the tiniest towns in the United Kingdom. The 2011 census reported the parish of Yarmouth having 865 normal homeowners. In 2001 the population was simply 791 (compared to about 600 at the beginning of the 19th century). As a port as well as market community Yarmouth has had local business importance. It still has some boat lawns and chandlery, and although fairly little it still supports a variety of stores, resorts, pubs as well as dining establishments, supported partly by passing profession from the ferryboat terminal and visiting watercraft proprietors.
