Commissioners Picture Gallery

From time to time the commissioners are presented with items relative to Onchan's past.

Local resident Barrie Perkin recently handed over to the care of the commissioners a watercolour painting of cottages which once stood in Church Road just around the corner from St Peter's Church.

The painting bears the date October 1906, the artist's initials E.M.R. and a note that it was painted for Mr Putt.

The painting was officially handed over to board chairman Terry Black by Barrie on 15th July 2002.

The picture is to hang in Onchan Library.
