5052451 The passing of the old Grammar School, 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, "(Mid-Winter) The passing of the old Grammar School. On L the entrance to the house portion, up and down the step of which the youthful feet of T E B tripped lightly nearly a century ago. On part of the fenced in ground R, stood the Step-Down Inn. Literally so. The floor was two steps below the level of the street. As stated earlier in this set, I hope to include this with a number of \'pukka\' photos from plates taken with a focussing drop-plate camera over 30 years back, as a supplement to this film series. The latter are only memory joggers. The plates make sharp pictures and I did lantern slides of most of them. \'Step-down\' Inn included in this set - see back." Additional notes: "T E B was born i 1830 - May 5th. The family left for Braddan Vicarage in 1832. So T E B didn\'t step much. Crawl perhaps." : "Thwaites I of M, p 174, 1863 Men. in the Episcopal Registry - The School-house, where the Chaplain resides, the scite (sic) left by Alderman Dixon, a native of Douglas, to Bishop Wilson, for a School-house, and built mostly at the expence of Mr William Murrey, merchant, who in his Will left it free and debtless to the town. Title deeds are in the temporal records."); by Manx National Heritage .
