The former B3325 (now B3399) in Chale Street
The B3325 was a long B-road connecting most of the settlements in the southern Isle of Wight and running along much of the coast.
Many of the roads on the island were renumbered in the late 1920s and the B3325 was no exception. Most of it is now the A3055. However, since the 1940s that road has run along the coast between Freshwater and Blackgang; the original, more inland, B3325 is now the B3399. The old road around St Catherine's Point has now been lost due to coastal erosion and so the A3055 has also been rerouted here.
