Inside Looking Out – Towards The Famous Leaning Entrance Pillars

Posted on January 9, 2014February 5, 2014 by Peter Killey

Standing inside Old Ballaugh Church at the Cronk and looking out towards the famous leaning entrance pillars. This little Church always intrigues me with its leaning entrance pillars, I have heard so many myths about the reasons why the pillars are leaning that I just don’t really know what to believe now!

The Forgotten Valley at Glen Dhoo Ballaugh

Posted on May 16, 2013April 25, 2015 by Peter Killey

We went for a beautiful walk this evening up to “The Forgotten Valley” at Glen Dhoo in Ballaugh. Glen Dhoo in Manx Gaelic simply means “Black Glen” because when the sun is sinking in the sky and disappears behind the hill the Glen is cast into shade. This forgotten valley is untouched and absolutely beautiful and this lovely little Manx Tholtan, better known as “The Port” or “Phurt” has a small stream running past the front of it. The images were all captured on my Sony HX20V camera, resized and cropped  in Adobe Photoshop CS6.

The Old Northern Steam Railway Line – Ballacrye Gatehouse

Posted on May 5, 2013December 2, 2013 by Peter Killey

On the old Northern Railway Line at Ballacrye just North of Ballaugh Village is the Ballacrye Level Crossing Gatehouse, this building is where the gate keeper and his family lived; The duties of the gatekeeper were arduous, as laid down by the Isle of Man Company in 1922 (Link to Ballaugh Heritage Trust) The gates were to be kept closed except to allow traffic to pass. Gates to be closed to the horse road five minutes before a train was due. Special trains had to give a prolonged whistle for crossings. A red board by day and three red lights at night to denote that a special train followed. Two red lights denoted a light engine following. These to be displayed on read of train or engines, special to pass within 15 minutes. A red board by day or red light at night hung on the front of the train denoted that a special train was to arrive shortly from the opposite direction. The image was captured on my Sony HX20V camera, resized and cropped  in Adobe Photoshop CS6.
