Maurice – Barry and Robin Gibb

Posted on October 11, 2022October 27, 2022 by Peter Killey

(2 images in this post) Loving these sculptures of Maurice, Barry and Robin Gibb, who were born on the Isle of Man, this image shows the Gibb Brothers in mid ‘Stayin Alive’ strut and these gorgeous bronze sculptures are placed for all to see on Loch Promenade in Douglas. The 7ft (2m) design has been created by Andrew Edwards, who previously made statues of The Beatles and Cilla Black in Liverpool. The base of the statue is in the shape of a record inscribed with lyrics from ‘Ellan Vannin’, a song the Brothers recorded to raise funds for a Manx charity back in 1997.

Jane Crookall Maternity Home (former) – Douglas

Posted on January 16, 2022January 18, 2022 by Peter Killey

A little bit of Isle of Man Nostalgia (3 images in this post) This former but original Jane Crookall Maternity Home became fully functional as a dedicated Maternity Home in 1938 and closed in 1992, this building, where I was born is now administration offices for the Department of Social Care. The property which had been bought and modified for the purpose by the then Mayor of Douglas, Alderman A B Crookall for a lasting memorial for his wife Jane. The building is situated on Demesne Road in Douglas is now called Crookall House and if my memory serves me right there used to be a figure of a stork situated on the roof above the front doors! There have been some very famous people born in this building (apart from me!!) i.e. Robin Gibb, Barry Gibb and Maurice Gibb from the Beegees 🙂 there are plenty more I am sure! Also if my memory serves me right the rooms to the right of the front door were the delivery rooms!

The Cholera Pit – St. George’s Church

Posted on October 2, 2021 by Peter Killey

The Cholera Pit The Epidermics of 1832 and 1833 “That destructive calamity” When looking at this large open space how many people realise what this piece of land really is? Look more closely and you will see this grassy plot is marked by a small plane cross bearing the words cholera 1832 – 1833 there are no names marked anywhere but the space is, in fact, the resting place of many of the victims of the outbreak of this dreadful disease which killed over 200 people. Some were buried in other parts of the island but most will living in Douglas. It is thought that they were approximately 120 victims in total buried in st. George’s. 10 burials were recorded in St. George’s burial register on the 30th of August 1833 alone. This disease was almost certainly the result of poor quality of the water supply and was highly contagious. The Isle of Man Weekly Times reported that the cholera “baffled all medical skill; many in good health in the morning were interred in the same evening” The beds and clothes of those who died were burned. The dead were wrapped in tarred sheets – no coffins – and buried immediately. At night in St. George’s churchyard the burials took place by dim lanterns, hand-held or suspended from the trees, the body’s heaped in one after the other.
