Douglas, Central Promenade 1896

More about this scene
The tide is well and truly out in this picture, taken as the shadows lengthen on a summer evening in 1896. Had this picture been taken just a few years earlier it would have featured the Douglas Iron Pier, erected opposite the Central Hotel in 1869; it was dismantled in 1892. Note the white areas on the beach - these are piles of linen from nearby hotels being aired and dried.
