An Introduction to the Architecture of the Isle of Man Patricia a Tutt An Introduction to the Architecture of the Isle of Man Patricia A Tutt UPDATE 1, NOVEMBER 2013 Putting together a weighty tome such as this is a lengthy and fraught exercise and I could have taken another year to add further details and seek greater consensus. There were originally over 700 pages in my draft and many images, some buildings and some sections of text had to be culled. In the building types section, many buildings are illustrated by a single image when originally there were several, plus all their captions. Even with all this cutting, we were still pushed for space at the back end (bibliography, references, index, etc) so these were printed in very small type and it would be putting it mildly to say that the index was not ‘fully formed.’ This update rectifies some of this, greatly expanding the index, and providing some extras images that didn’t make it into the book . Once you start giving me feedback, there will be further updates responding to your comments, with corrections and further information, as they become available. If you wish to be on the mailing list for these updates, please contact me by email at [email protected] or through my website – www.patriciatutt.com – thank you. CONTENTS CORRECTIONS 2 INDEX 2 PIX: Dolberg House 1 Government Office 14 Triskelion lucarne in Ramsey 14 An outtake from the book: Dölberg House 9 Athol Street, Douglas RB 198/2002 The former Isle of Man Times Building was acquired by the publisher in 1872 and substantially rebuilt in 1879- 1880, when the basement was excavated for the machine room and the upper floors were turned into offices and spaces for rooms for typesetting, bookbinding, and lithography. This striking elevation, in a mellow brick with sandstone dressings, a bow front and a rather French roof, appears to date from that time. 1 | P a g e CORRECTIONS Archbishop of York 224 Archibald Knox, Onchan 298 Mostly ‘typos’ Archigram 73 63 Caption: Government Offices - Building Design Partnership Archive Stack, Manx Museum, Crellin’s Hill, Douglas 337 (not British Design Partnership).

The firsc is the chronicling of the bare facts of school life, the lists of the terms functions and functionaries, and the Sports events. The second is the interpretation of the spirit of the school and of its multifarious activities by means of descriptive writing. Often the two methods are mixed; for instance, the report on the play will contain both the programme and a criticism of the production or, an account of a Rugger match will include the names of the team and the scorers, and a description of how the team played. The facts are the bones of the Harrovian, but without the flesh and blood of ideas it cannot be made to live.

  • Manx Farming Communities and Traditions. an Examination of Manx Farming Between 1750 and 1900
    115 Manx Farming Communities and Traditions. An examination of Manx farming between 1750 and 1900 CJ Page Introduction Set in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man was far from being an isolated community. Being over 33 miles long by 13 miles wide, with a central mountainous land mass, meant that most of the cultivated area was not that far from the shore and the influence of the sea. Until recent years the Irish Sea was an extremely busy stretch of water, and the island greatly benefited from the trade passing through it. Manxmen had long been involved with the sea and were found around the world as members of the British merchant fleet and also in the British navy. Such people as Fletcher Christian from HMAV Bounty, (even its captain, Lieutenant Bligh was married in Onchan, near Douglas), and also John Quilliam who was First Lieutenant on Nelson's Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar, are some of the more notable examples. However, it was fishing that employed many Manxmen, and most of these fishermen were also farmers, dividing their time between the two occupations (Kinvig 1975, 144). Fishing generally proved very lucrative, especially when it was combined with the other aspect of the sea - smuggling. Smuggling involved both the larger merchant ships and also the smaller fishing vessels, including the inshore craft. Such was the extent of this activity that by the mid- I 8th century it was costing the British and Irish Governments £350,000 in lost revenue, plus a further loss to the Irish administration of £200,000 (Moore 1900, 438).

  • Isle of Man Angling Guide
    JUNE 2015 JUNE Isle of Man Angling Guide Sea and freshwater angling www.visitisleofman.com/angling Gone fishing With fast flowing streams, well-stocked reservoirs and an incredibly accessible coastline the Isle of Man provides a perfect place to fish. Located in the path of the Gulf Stream the Island enjoys mild temperatures and attracts an abundance of marine life associated with the warm-water current. So, whether you’re a keen angler, or a novice wanting to while away a few hours, you’ll find a range of locations for both freshwater and sea fishing. And if you’re looking for something different why not charter a boat and turn your hand to deep sea fishing where you can try your luck at catching crabs, lobster and even shark?
