5052678 Seneschal Lane, 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, "In my boyhood days, our house \'looked\' down the lane behind Auckland Terrace, now the N side of Windsor Road. No 6 Auckland Terace was Parson Cannell\'s residence. If he was not then \'on live\' [line?], his wife was. On the light summer nights we used to watch for Mr Smaggs\' arrival. He would waddle down the lane, abstract from his coat pocket some gravel & throw it up against the first floor window of the outlet. Almost immediately, he would seem to dissolve into the wall. Mrs Cannell\'s cook was a comely middle-aged woman, and wore her black hair done up in ringlets that clustered around her head. Many fair ones affected this coiffure at this time. x Mrs Allen, (Mylrea & Allen, Duke St) & Mrs Cain, Post Office at end of Athol St., P. Hill end: mother of \'Jerpy\' & \'Fatty\' at Grammar School with me. I have mentioned earlier, that Fred. Smagg was a thrifty man. Youngsters though we were, we were well aware of that & concluded that the element of Romance was missing, and that Smagg\'s objective was a \'cheap feed\'. \'Fatty\' was Frank in private life I think, & in later years was a successful \'hotelier\' at Ambleside. Of \'Jerpey\', I know nothing after the Grammar School days, nor do I know his actual prenomen. There was also a daughter Ethel, usually among the crowd at the P. School entrance in Dalton St., when Sergt. Lewin, of Onchan Post Ofice, and a Crimean Veteran I believe, wouold be drilling us in the School playground."); by Manx National Heritage .
