EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of The Promenade in Douglas, Isle of Man, circa 1910. The vibrant scene is filled with the hustle and bustle of holidaymakers enjoying the picturesque waterfront. The iconic clocktower, a landmark of Douglas, stands proudly in the background, while the Villiers Hotel, a popular accommodation choice for visitors, can be seen on the left. The Horse Trams, a beloved mode of transportation on the Isle of Man, gracefully make their way along the promenade, adding a touch of nostalgia to the image. The trams, which first began operating in 1893, were a significant attraction for tourists and locals alike. The Promenade, a popular destination for holidaymakers during the 1900s and 1910s, is teeming with pedestrians, who stroll along the seafront, taking in the fresh sea air and breathtaking views of the Irish Sea. The crowds gather around the trams, eager to capture a memory of their trip to the Isle of Man. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and charm of Douglas and the Isle of Man, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The Horse Trams may no longer run along the promenade, but the memories and traditions they represent continue to live on, making this image a cherished piece of history for generations to come.
