More about this scene
In Manx folklore the village was named 'the Harbour of Mary' in honour of the Blessed Virgin by Celtic missionaries, who founded a chapel here. Missionaries from Ireland began arriving in the 5th century; it is possible that St Patrick himself founded the church on St Patrick's Isle, Peel.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I was 13 and I went for 2 weeks' holiday with my sister Liz and my dad. We stayed at the Cools Cafe, run by the Kelly family. We used to help make chips and cook the meat pies for the customers, they smelt delicious and tasted even better.
Does anyone remember the Kellys at Cools Cafe? I know they had a daughter called Melody.
