From Castletown to Peel
Castle Rushen, Peel Castle, and Two Ducks.
View From The Castle - Looking towards the town square, the building with the bay windows is The George Hotel (approx top centre of picture) - where we had lunch, good food, reasonable price. Image Date: 04/07/2011

Black Telephone Box - This Black telephone box is in Castletown square, I don't know why it was painted that colour. There are other black telephone boxes in the United Kingdom, but I have been unable to find the reason why they have been painted this colour. Image Date: 04/07/2011
Castletown Memorial - This memorial is in Castletown Square, the castle is just behind. The dedication at the foot of the cross reads: - IN REMEMBRANCE 1914 - 1918 Castletown to the memory of her children who gave their lives in the great war, see to it that their names be not forgotten.

Two Little Ducks - Nothing special about 2 ducks swimming on the Silverburn River, but the first thing I noticed was the clarity of the water, photo taken from the bridge on Alexandra Road, Castletown. Image Date: 04/07/2011
The remains of Saint Peter's Church. Located on the corner of A27 and Castle Street, Peel. I’m not sure when it was built, but the clock tower was added in 1872, the clock keeps good time. When the church was built it could house a congregation of 600, although looking inside it doesn't look big enough. In 1958 the building was considered unsafe and demolished. Image Date: 06/07/2011

Peel Castle - Peel Castle on St Patrick's Isle. Fenella Beach in the foreground is not a natural beach, nor is it man made; it formed when the roadway was built to connect St. Patrick's Isle with Peel. Image Date: 06/07/2011
