Lots of holiday makers used to send kippers home for their families from Douglas in the 50s and 60s went many times with grandparents and parents took my mates there on three great holidays 71.72.73.loved the place scared of going back because been told the place has changed that much .I know I would be upset with all the great memories that I have of them holidays with my family and then my friends some of the best days of my life
Brought back memories - it would be great if the pics could be slowed down just a touch as a little too speedy for me personally - but a nice collection

Same here . Click on the cogwheel symbol top right and choose a slower speed, as the pictures are worth a proper look.

Nice to see my photo of Paraphernalia still doing the rounds.
Taken in 1986.
O aye. Would love to see a pic of the old gellings foundry.victoria street. Used to do a bit of part time work there
I slowed it right down to be able to look at the pictures better, as some great old views.
A chance to actually see the pictures before they change would be good xD
