Victoria Road, Douglas
« on: Saturday 07 January 12 17:30 GMT (UK) »
I've been looking on G****e maps/ S********w, to try to find a house on Victoria Road called the Willows, a double fronted white painted house. Not sure if it is still there or has been renamed. We stayed there several times when I was a child. I remember using the lift from the promenade near the Falcon Cliff Hotel, now offices I believe, to get back to the house. There was a holiday camp near the house too, I think, but that closed many years ago.
