Thanks so much for showing these wonderful pics...Born in IOM just as ww2 broke out. Left the Island to conquer the world at 16...never suceeded....Love the old pics, I do remember the places and the wonderful people..often wonder why I left !!!!. EU is not the best place now...maybe I should go home.

@@cherryred1732 Hello. I lived just around the corner from Gellings Foundry in Ridgeway Street above the wholsale fruit shop of Thos Keyes, next door to the Herald Office and Jennings & Clucas. Opposite was the wonderful Public Library where the ladies were so kind to me as a child with an interest in science and making things that they allowed me to have books without a ticket !!! wonderful memories indeed...Take care Cherry☺

Ron halstead. George kermode les kinrade. Don't find people like this much today. The old original doolish fire brigade at john street. Lovely memories of better times.

Particularly good selection of pictures and of course you can open another tab with the very well chosen song going repeatedly in the background while you stop this video at the pictures.
