Abandoned buildings beginning to disappear
The author of three volumes on Manx Tholtans says people need to see these pieces of history before they crumble away.
Ray Kelly has been interested in the abandoned buildings that used to be homes dotted around the Island's countryside for over 30 years.
He says his books were not intended to be historically accurate, rather a way of remembering the Tholtans before they disappear.
Mr Kelly says memories will soon be all we have left:
First in series of 'Isle be Ready' sessions to take place next month
More online services for drivers
New support centre 'an oasis' for cancer patients
Orrisdale Road to close for a month for resurfacing works
