(10 images in this post) A beautiful day today so I took a trip around Port Erin Bay with the Drone to take in the now demolished Marine Biological Station, Bradda Head and Mine and the derelict Swimming Pool. I must say that when the new apartments are built where the Bio Station was they will have a tremendous view.

(4 images in this post). Milner’s Tower on Bradda Head in Port Erin was built in 1871 by public subscription as a memorial to the benefactor of Port Erin, William Milner, who did much to help the village fishermen and the poor. Milner was a famous safemaker from Liverpool and the unusual shape of the Tower represents a key and a lock.

The former Traie Meanagh open air swimming baths in Port Erin opened in June 1899 and hosted swimmers for more than 80 years, closing as baths in 1981. It was then turned into a fish farm which ceased to operate in 1990. On image 2 you can see all the abandoned changing rooms and viewing areas, it must have been a hive of activity in it’s heyday!
