More about this scene

At this time Port St Mary was still being described as a 'pleasant little fishing port and seaside resort'. The local fishing fleet was, however, in decline. By the late 1890s the local fleet comprised 56 boats employing 346 men and boys, landing an annual catch valued at less than £3,000.

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.
