If anyone wants to see it on Google Map :

Shore Road, Port Erin, Isle of Man


One of the oldest houses in Port Erin circa. 1734.

Thanks Pinz. Chriskay, clearly underestimated the skills of a freelance detective.

It was the chimney stacks, those on DD's picture seemed a bit different or unusual.
I started looking for anything that might throw a bit of light on them. A site came up with a picture very like DD's and an article saying 'typical parapet gables' in Douglas, Isle of Man. With that, then started a search of the resorts in the Isle of Man.

Just lucky really.
