Old Onchan Picture Gallery 2

Morton Hall

Where the lads are on the fallen tree is the site of what is now the Onchan Pensioners Club building, Morton Hall in Elm Tree Road.

The house in the centre of the picture was called Willow Cottage, which has given its name to Willow House, the block which houses the Onchan Library.

To the left of Willow Cottage is a terrace of shops with living accommodation over. These were built for Mr Spittal who owned the Nursery Gardens upon which they were built.

In the background is Wesley Terrace, the end house on the right was Onchan's first bank, later a butcher's shop and new Kenyon's Café Drop-in Centre
