5052363 Entrance to no. 1 Fort St, Douglas, Isle of Man, 1932-34 (b/w photo) by Frowde, John James (1868-1946); Manx National Heritage (Isle of Man); (add.info.: On the back of this photograph John James Frowde writes, "The entrance to no 1 Fort St, long styled \'The Old Fort\'. Doubtless it may have served the old Fortress on the Pollack Rocks in some capacity. It was the nearest building and on the shore. In the CR papers we have an inventory of the Fort\'s contents and armaments, about 1694. Then there are appended a list of the contents of the \'picket loft\', the \'middle sellar\', and \'the great sellar in ye towne\'. The \'sellar\' under no 1 is the greatest come upon during demolitions, it is, probably, the reason of no 1 paving so long been identified with the Douglas Fort, (Rampart only. Tower demolished 1818?) on the Pollock Rock. Actual Douglas Fort, and cellars, not Fort St items, later in this series, at end of Route." Additional note: "H Bailiff Harris said that he had attended school in this building among occupiers last century. Capt Corlett of the IOMSPCo. The mother of Mrs Tom Fleming, Butcher later, of Harcroft."); by Manx National Heritage .
