A non stop photographic journey around the beautiful Isle of Man by Peter Killey
Some of my Isle of Man Images that I think look good in Black and White.
Just look how close our neighbours are across the wet bit! I presume that is the Lake District? Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the ‘Leave a Comment’ text in this post above or by logging onto my Facebook Page enjoy – Click on the image for a larger view.

On the way home yesterday on the Staarvey Road I decided to take a picture of the unusual Bell Tower on the barn of Ballakaighen Farm. I bumped into the owner of the farm a Mr Donald Cannan (as in piccie) this man who is 85 years of age is still a working farmer and an absolute true Manxman and Gentleman. Donald told me the story of the old Cronk y Voddy Church undergoing extensive renovation in the late 70’s and how he went to the auction room and bought the bell which now stands above his barn on the Staarvey Road in Cronk y Voddy, the bell is still used now and again, especially on Tynwald Day which is also the the Cronk y Voddy Sports day and the Cronk y Voddy Eisteddfod. Donald also mentioned that the old bell can be traced back to 1852 which makes this original bell 163 years old (in 2015). Donald told me all sorts of lovely stories about his life and it was an absolute honour to have met him, he even rang the bell for me to prove it still worked.

What a lovely building which I have never spotted before. Pretty sure it is private ownership now and not part of the Church. Bride is one of the three parishes on the Isle of Man which have Rectories (Andreas, Ballaugh and Bride) all remaining parishes have Vicarages.

Hauntingly Beautiful This house always catches my eye whenever I drive past, and some research shows that this house was used as one of the film sets for the 2002 TV movie, Hound of the Baskervilles.
