Formed as the Shanklin and Chale Railway to run the six miles between the towns. That scheme was abandoned and it reappeared with the new name as a 6.75 mile route between Merstone and Ventnor and opened in 1897 and on to Ventnor West in 1900

In 1913 the company went bust and was absorbed by the Isle of Wight Central Railway (IoWCR)
