With the decision by Graham to close the doors on Caley’s General Store and Post Office in Sulby on March 28th 2020, I decided to ask Graham if I can take a few pictures for this website and for a historic record of such wonderful people and a fantastic village store in Sulby. I have also included a very similar image that I took of the late Raymond Caley in June of 2016 (RIP Raymond).

Rose Cottage – Regaby
Rose Cottage, Regaby and the Hand of the Manx Giant Arthur Caley. The interesting aspect of this beautiful Manx Cottage is the gate pillar and the cast hand of the Manx Giant Arthur Caley. Measured from floor to the tip of the hand it measures 7’11″ which is exactly the same height of the Manx Giant. Apparently Captain George Burrows, had a Market Garden and a coal yard in Parliament Street in Ramsey and he lived in Rose Cottage. He employed ‘The Manx Giant’ and he had the hands made which he put on the gatepost. He (Capt George Burrows) also gave some items belonging to Arthur Caley to the Manx Museum in Douglas.

Caley’s General Store Sulby
Passing Raymond Caley’s old shop at Sulby Cross Roads today I couldn’t help myself stopping and snapping a few pics of the store, Raymond’s lovely memorial plaque and that old hand made open and closed sign that Raymond changed each morning and night. Raymond was an absolute Gentleman who I loved chatting to – RIP Raymond “Gone Fishing” Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Leave a comment” above or by logging onto my Facebook Page enjoy – Click on the image for a larger view.
