Imperial Hotel Demolition Aug/Sep 18

Posted on September 5, 2018September 5, 2018 by Peter Killey

A selection of demolition images with the first image showing this Hotel back in 2015. The Imperial Hotel was built in 1891 from ruabon brick brought from Wales and was originally two hotels in the one building, the Imperial closed it’s doors in 2006 and has thereafter been unused as a Hotel, I always remember the Imperial as a beautiful red bricked landmark on Central Promenade in Douglas which I am sure lots of us can also relate to. Not sure what will replace this once beautiful Victorian Building but watch this space.

Park Road School Demolition 4th March 2013

Posted on March 4, 2013March 4, 2013 by Peter Killey

Demolition work is due to start later today (Monday) on a building which holds memories for thousands. Park Road School is to be demolished. The school first opened in 1894 and was used until last July when it closed and was replaced by the new £34 million building at Bemahague in Onchan. Work is expected to take a number of weeks. Although a housing development has been mooted, no decision has been made on what the site will be used for. Another old Manx building gone. Click on any of the images for a larger view.
