Ballarghey – Foxdale

Posted on July 29, 2019July 29, 2019 by Peter Killey

This lovely old Manx Tholtan is called Ballarghey 🇮🇲 It sits between Higher & Lower Foxdale behind Lhea Kerrow Farm, I believe it was once lived in by Philip Cain and his family but I am unsure how long ago since it was last inhabited! Access was with kind permission from the land owner. This image has been added to my Manx Tholtans Page which you can access by clicking the above link.

The Clock Tower in Foxdale

Posted on August 25, 2014August 29, 2014 by Peter Killey

If you are like me and wonder what this Clock Tower is all about every time you drive past it then read on; The Clock Tower in Foxdale is certainly a well known landmark in the Village and was erected and paid for in 1901 by the Foxdale Mining Company Ltd for the benefit of Foxdale and to commemorate Queen Victoria’s reign of 64 years. The tower was later restored by the Department of Local Government in 1992. The white plague half way up the tower reads; VICTORIA.R.I. REIGNED 64 YEARS AND STILL REIGNS IN THE HEARTS OF HER PEOPLE The wording on the lower plaque names the Chairman and Directors of the Foxdale Mining Company.

Standing on the Ballavar Road next to Archallagan Plantation in Foxdale and overlooking the buildings of the MSPCA in the centre of the image, South Barrule Plantation is top left, next to the Plantation is South Barrule Quarry, you can also just make out the heather starting to burst into colour on the upper hills. How lucky are we to have such a wonderful countryside!

Cross Vein Mine in Foxdale © Peter Killey - www.manxscenes.com

Cross Vein Mine Foxdale, popularly known as Snuff the Wind

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Peter Killey

This mine was worked circa 1832 to 1881 by the Isle of Man Mining Company, usually in conjunction with the more extensive Beckwith Mine situated 2/3 of a mile West and it exploited part of a vein of lead ore which was temporarily very productive . There were two shafts approximately 240’ apart, the engine shaft and the Whim shaft – So called because it was originally worked with a horse gin or whim.
