GREY FUNNEL (aka the STEAMER GALLERY) will be OPEN on Weekdays from EASTER 2023
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 gallery is currently open on Saturday from 10am to 4pm but will be open on weekdays from Easter 2023.
