With the decision by Graham to close the doors on Caley’s General Store and Post Office in Sulby on March 28th 2020, I decided to ask Graham if I can take a few pictures for this website and for a historic record of such wonderful people and a fantastic village store in Sulby.

I have also included a very similar image that I took of the late Raymond Caley in June of 2016 (RIP Raymond).

A lovely guided walk around Killabregga Tholtans this afternoon with Ballaugh Heritage Trust, this particular Tholtan was one of the two homes amongst all the barns and piggery and threshing house etc. The upright stones to the right of the image were thought to be peat drying stones, where the peat was hung over to dry out.

Killabregga Farm was last farmed in the early 1960’s by the Kinrade family.

Passing Raymond Caley’s old shop at Sulby Cross Roads today I couldn’t help myself stopping and snapping a few pics of the store, Raymond’s lovely memorial plaque and that old hand made open and closed sign that Raymond changed each morning and night. Raymond was an absolute Gentleman who I loved chatting to – RIP Raymond “Gone Fishing”

How lucky we are 🙂

Standing high up at Druidale, extreme left of the image is North Barrule then to the right Clagh Ouyr, Snaefell Mountain is in the middle of the image and you can make out Sulby Reservoir to the right. The trees in the foreground are at Tholt y Will Plantation.

Spring Bank Cottage – Sulby

Spring Bank Cottage near to Sulby Claddagh.

I just love this little old once loved cottage which was once a crofters cottage and former home of the well known local charachter called Philly Quayle.
