A few Manx Tholtans from the Air

Posted on by Peter Killey

(7 images in this post) A few Isle of Man Tholtans from the Drone. First 4 images taken from the Staarvey Road, talking many years ago to nearby farmer (the late Donald Cannan), he can remember this property being occupied circa 1945 by a man named Killey who had the nickname of ‘Killey the Gull’. Last 3 images are of an unknown Tholtan at Upper Lhergydhoo which neighbours the previous property. Please let me know if you have any further info about these lovely old once loved homes.

Crammag Packhorse Bridge – Sulby

Posted on by Peter Killey

Love this little packhorse bridge over the Crammag River in Sulby. It is so isolated and I would imagine used by the occupants of the nearby Crammag Tholtans about a mile or so away.

Ballarghey – Foxdale

Posted on by Peter Killey

This lovely old Manx Tholtan is called Ballarghey 🇮🇲 It sits between Higher & Lower Foxdale behind Lhea Kerrow Farm, I believe it was once lived in by Philip Cain and his family but I am unsure how long ago since it was last inhabited! Access was with kind permission from the land owner. This image has been added to my Manx Tholtans Page which you can access by clicking the above link.

Park Llewellyn & Cornaa Farm Tholtans

Posted on by Peter Killey

3 images of Manx Tholtans, image 1 and 2 are Park Llewellyn. This beautiful once loved Manx Tholtan at Park Llewellyn sits on the foot of the slopes of North Barrule. Quite difficult to imagine how tough life in this isolated home might have been. But believe me the view out the front door overlooking Cornaa Valley with views of the North Laxey Mines nearby might have been some consolation. Without a doubt one of the most beautiful ruins on the entire island 🇮🇲 Image 3 is the nearby Tholtan of Cornaa Farm which I believe was still occupied in the late 70’s, again this beautiful once loved home enjoyed very similar views to the neighbouring Park Llewellyn.
