TheTeapot Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Sadly it will sold to the highest bidder who will just put some shit apartments on it because our government thinks only about money. It has this asset, as far as they're concerned its only value is a financial one. Like the post st mary train station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moghrey Mie Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 It could be the Head Office for a maritime magazine ..... They'll get it cheaper, if not lease it for 999 years for a couple of quid a year. They've gone to Tromode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarne Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Over 100 years, the blocks will have settled by now to make a sound foundation. I completely misread this and thought "That's oddly racist, and there aren't many blacks in Port Erin..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizo Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Over 100 years, the blocks will have settled by now to make a sound foundation. You may have noticed but over recent years the old breakwater is gradually falling/slipping away. I remember it being considerably higher in the water at low tide. On another note which I have previously mentioned Port Erin is a deep harbour and is the only place a marina should have been built. But the powers that be knew better. Heard on the radio the doi or whoever want to knock it down. Well, that was inevitable. Probably an inside job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Could have been an act of patriotism and started with a souvenir TT lighter? So who imports souvenir tat? Oh yes, an inside job!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homarus Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 PE_01.jpg Over 100 years, the blocks will have settled by now to make a sound foundation. The Government should do something innovative and long term with the area. But hey, the easy route is Dandaraland. The money will keep the Island afloat for about 6 days or so after the reserves run out. Ramsey bay would be even better ,the most sheltered Bay on the Island , Utilizing the Queens Pier location only problem would be the sandy terrain !

Tarne Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It's going to be left empty, just like the Castle Mona. It'd make a cracking place for a youth hostel but not even Bat Shit Crazy McGee would take it on for the price they want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
