High above Douglas the silhouette of these derelict cottages on Carnane Hill can be seen from far and wide around the surrounding areas of Douglas.
Maybe someone can tell us a bit more about their history??

Hiya,
Had a great view of those cottages from a flat I used to live in, always fancied going for a walk up to see them close up – until someone told me they’d stayed derelict after a house fire that killed the family living there. Kinda put me off pursuing it, but still interested to see your photos!
Great site, btw, love it!
Hi Jeanette
There is also a little bit of info on these cottages on my facebook page;

Thanks for your kind comments as well 🙂
Hi Peter,
I am visiting the island for a week on 3rd March 2018 and would like to research Carnane Cottages history while I am there. Is there anything you can tell me about this?
Kind regards,
Bernadette
What super shots of these derelict cottages, just the sort of subjects I look for.

Hi,
I left the island when I was 18 and the story I was told when i was younger was that there was a tragic fire in the cottages which caused several fatalities- sadly some of them children. no one lived there again. this would have been possibly late 60s
Regards,
Bernadette
