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.

Architecture on Clarence Terrace (Douglas Promenade).

Posted on December 22, 2015December 22, 2015 by Peter Killey

These properties were originally laid on the lawns of the Castlemona Hotel. They are dated circa 1840 and I particularly like the old style architecture on these buildings, namely the arched doorways, the window pediments above the first floor windows and the old cast iron balconies that remain on some of these Victorian properties.

Tower of Refuge Organised Walk – 7th April 2011

Posted on April 7, 2012 by Peter Killey

Popped down to take some images of this organised walk to the Tower of Refuge tonight, there were literally thousands of people queuing to walk out to the Tower at low tide, I just took some images from the Promenade walkway (basically because I could not be bothered queuing and it was starting to rain). The image was taken on my Nikon D80 SLR with a Nikon 18-135 F3.5/5.6 G AFS DX lens and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Click on either of the images for a larger view!

Ted aged 13 Weeks

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Peter Killey

On Saturday 20th Nick and myself took Ted for the longest walk of his 13 week old life along Douglas Promenade 🙂 Ted loved the walk but as we discovered he has some dislikes as well! Basically as you can imagine there are lots of things happening on the Promenade and Ted soon found that he did not like waste bins, buses, horse trams and anyone pushing a pram, they were all big monsters to him and all he wanted was picking up whenever these situations arose. Anyway we took Ted from Summerland to the Castlemona shops and we had to turn around because the rain started to pour down, much to the joy of cocky little Ted 🙂 Nick has has now taught Ted to sit properly and he even raises his right paw (high 5) when he gets a treat for doing something right, which unfortunately is not that often!! More about Ted the Border Terrorist soon 🙂
