Both sides in my family came from Peel. Love finding their houses. My x2 great grandad lived at 14 castle street in 1881 age 5.

I grew up in Dumbells bank! Never did find that vault.

I lived on Peel promenade since 1957 and it was never called the foreshore, always the beach. Saying that, I would guess that it may have been called the foreshore prior to the construction of the promenade around the turn of the century.

What a delight itvwas to listen to this. Does anyone Happytimes we all were blessed but didnt know it then. Does anyone know the gentlemans name?

Have you any idea when the Marine hotel closed as my grandad was born in the Marine hotel 1888. James Henry Delaney I have his birth certificate and I have done lots of my family tree and found out loads about peel. Also about my great grandfather who was married to Eleanor J Killey

[@ruthroberts8268]

The Marine Hotel is now a pub that does food, the hotel rooms above are now apartments, don't know when that happened tho.

[@culturevannin8486]

@@ruthroberts8268 Today's Marine is a great pub along the promenade, but in 1888 that name was on a different pub, on the corner of Crown Street and Castle Street.

I think the rachabites had a hall at the Colby levels?

My x4 great grandad William Clarke was known as William the baker. 😂 he was born 1807 died 1848. Not sure where his business was though
