Sandown-Shanklin was an urban district on the Isle of Wight, England, from 1933. It was created by the merger of Shanklin and Sandown urban districts along with parts of the civil parishes of Brading, Bonchurch and Yaverland from the Isle of Wight Rural District.[1] In 1961 it had a population of 14,386.[2] It was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, to form part of the South Wight district.
