5052793 Blare\'s Corner, Douglas, Isle of Man, c.1873-83 (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, "Blare\'s Corner, Isaac Place\'s Ferry & the Customs hut by the side of which casks of spirit etc. were sampled & tested in a Sykes\' Hydrometer. The \'shears\' for hoisting the casks are visible just behind the hut. In holiday time, this process had enthralling interest for self and congeners; especially if Tommy the Wad[?] was permitted to suck up the fluid in the tin pipette, when he would end the day in the lock-up. From old sensitizer paper print in Museum. End of this series. Addenda, two views recalling my early school-days c 1878, and an idea of what \'mine own good town\' was like just 25 years to my arrival in it."); by Manx National Heritage .
