Strathallen Castle – Port St Mary

Posted on October 5, 2022October 5, 2022 by Peter Killey

(5 images in this post) Strathallen Castle – Port St Mary Strathallen Castle, formerly the Clifton Hotel in Port St Mary and the former home of Ronnie and Mary Aldrich, this fine property was built on a promontory which has superb views of Port St Mary Bay and the rugged cliffs towards the Chasms. Look at the little bridge leading to St. Thomas’s Isle which was once a private boat launch. The property is in disrepair now but what a beautiful place to live!

Old Port Erin – Open Air Swimming Pool

Posted on November 1, 2019November 3, 2019 by Peter Killey

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!

Glion Kiark “Glen of the Grouse”

Posted on June 9, 2019June 9, 2019 by Peter Killey

Glion Kiark “Glen of the Grouse” A lovely walk today to this isolated building. It is the site of an old slate quarry workings at the foot of Sartfell Mountain, this building is clearly visible when looking approximately South-East from the TT Course half-way up Barregarrow Hill. This quarry originally employed about twenty quarrymen, many of whom were Welsh, who came over to the Island following the closures of quarries in their homeland. It closed in about 1874 due to the poor quality of the slate and the buildings subsequently fell into disrepair. The ruins are those of the blacksmiths shop, stables, a pay office and accommodation for the men. The belfry at the end of building deceptively gives it the appearance of an old church. In fact, the bell which it once housed was used to signal the beginning and ending of the mens work shifts, which ran day and night. The old quarry building is very desolate and quite a hard place to get to it has very steep slopes and ravines to cross and a good set of walking boots are a must.

Killabregga Tholtans

Posted on April 7, 2019April 8, 2019 by Peter Killey

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.
