[From 1898 Official Guide]

Accommodation in Douglas
[1898]

 

[Note the complete text is only on CD_ROM - a small sampler given here]

[Note slightly re-arranged from original - also some abbreviations expanded for ease of reading - Lodging = supply of accommodation (often with some arrangement whereby landlady cooked food bought by guest, Board = supply of food/meals by landlady, Boarding [House] = only arrangement is for meals to be supplied by Landlady; Hotel would generally have a public bar whereas a Private hotel would not .

The supply of alcoholic drinks to residents was a significant political matter around this period as many nonconformists wished to restrict the sale of alcohol whereas the Town Council in order to curb the illicit sale wished to provide some control by allowing landladies to obtain a licence to supply their guests only]

[The 1904 Accommodation Guide is also available]

LOCH PROMENADE, and Streets adjoining.

(The Loch Promenade extends along the sea front from the foot of the Victoria Landing Pier to St. Thomas' Church, and is at this point joined by the Harris Promenade. A very frequent service of tram cars ply between the Victoria Pier and the Co.'s terminus at Derby Castle, at the further end of the Bay.)
