Over the course of 100 years, the Isle of Man developed from a
collection of fishing villages into one of the main holiday
destinations for people working in the Lancashire mills and coal
mines. Hotels and other holiday accommodation were built and
developed during the late Victorian era and people travelled to the
Island by steamer from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. This
influx of holiday makers brought great prosperity to the Island,
which was also boosted by the annual TT motorcycle races.
Illustrated with over 150 archive images, this collection of
photographs and postcards provides a nostalgic insight into the
changing history of the Isle of Man over the last century. Each
image is accompanied by a detailed caption, bringing the past to
life and describing many aspects of life on the Island, including
work, recreation and leisure. This book will appeal to everyone
with an interest in the history of the Isle of Man, and also awaken
memories of a bygone time for those who worked, lived or have ever
visited the Island.
