The Clock Tower and remaining altar window and walls of the former St Peter’s Church in Market Place in Peel.
A fire in 1958 made the building unsafe and it was demolished shortly after, only the outer walls, alter window and some tomb stones and the clock tower remain.

The Imperial Hotel was built in 1891 from ruabon brick brought from Wales and was originally two hotels in the one building, the Imperial closed it’s doors in 2006 and has thereafter been unused as a Hotel, I always remember the Imperial as a beautiful red bricked landmark on Central Promenade in Douglas which I am sure lots of us can also relate to.
Not sure what will replace this once beautiful Victorian Building but watch this space.

Formerly the Slieu Lewaigue Hotel, this hotel was first opened in the 1880’s and demolished by fire in 1896, this lovely property is now in private ownership.
It was called the Rest and be Thankful because in the days of coach and horses, the pub going passengers would be let out at the bottom of the hill and were required to walk up at their own pace as the horses went on ahead.
