Welcome to Grey Funnel

About Us

Grey Funnel is a 'bricks and mortar' gallery in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight run by Adrian Rowe who has been selling paintings, prints and books since 2010. The shop was bought in 2018 and was opened a year later after some upgrading and refurbishment. We are located just off the main shopping centre of Regent Street and a short walk from the railway station.


The shop was built on land originally owned by Vice Admiral Thomas Wren Carter (1789-1874) and so Grey Funnel  (an informal name for the Navy) was an apt choice of name. 


The premises was built for the coal merchants Woodford & Jollife, circa 1947, as a sales office for coal which was delivered to an adjacent yard on which the Medical Centre now stands.

Refurbishment

Dazzle Camouflage

Some of our display stands and outside walls of the shop have been decorated with a traditional dazzle camouflage pattern. Dazzle was invented by Norman Wilkinson, who was a well known marine artist, and was used on ships during the First World War.
