If you look closely amongst the trees you will see the wheelhouse of the old lift. The hotel has been recently refurbished and is now the offices of a firm of Accountants. |

the CU is heading North along the East Coast towards Douglas,
the gateway to the Marine Drive can be clearly seen and at the
