Another fond memory! I remember my mum asking my dad what the big building in the distance was. I think we were walking along Governors Road – does that fit? He replied “That’s the Queen Elizabeth Hotel”!

I don’t think it was George Formby who drove into the pub at Ballacraine – it was another rider in the film “No Limit”. It was memorable for the comment of the race commentator, when he announced that a rider had gone into the pub: he checked his watch and said “It’s alright – they’re open!”.

Eleanor they are all red glazed bricks I think!

The building is falling into a bit of disrepair and is now unoccupied.

I love the red paint. What is the building used for now?

Great picture and it looks so nice in the sunshine. We could do with a bit more of it here…

Thanks Peter
When i come over this September i plan to take shots of some of the older Manx churches, do you know of any out of the way ones that may normally be missed?
Take care now
Tony
