Bradda Head

The sun sets on a bitingly chilly day at Bradda Head on the southwestern coastline of the island. This is a super wide-angle image taken at 18mm which allowed for the cliff top lichen covered rocks to be pulled into the foreground of the scene. Milner’s Tower perched on top of Bradda Head is but a distant small feature within the huge expanse of the landscape.

Bradda Path and Viewing Platform - Construction Completed Oct 2022

The concept and provision of this viewing platform was an initiative of the Rotary Club of Rushen and Western Mann to mark the 50th anniversary of the club being founded in 1973. The platform includes full disabled access, with a wheelchair and environmentally-friendly base, a one metre high glass balustrade set back from the existing hedge, with the provision of wheelchair-friendly picnic tables.

Milners Tower

From gef.im/news/charity/150-years-of-milners-tower-12687/" rel="noreferrer nofollow gef.im/news/charity/150-years-of-milners-tower-12687 William Milner suffered from poor health and visited Port Erin for many years, before finally retiring here in 1860. It followed a tragedy, when a young boy was killed during a competition between Milner’s firm and a rival to test each other’s safes. ‘Milner’s Port Erin home was called The Rest, situated on land opposite the Falcon’s Nest Hotel, and he became a key figure in the village. He built the cottages on St Catherine’s Terrace to house poor fishermen, he built the village’s first major hotel – the Falcon’s Nest – and he was instrumental in the building of the new breakwater, which was completed two years after his death in 1864. It was badly damaged by storms in the years that followed and was finally destroyed in 1884. ‘But Milner did so much more for the people of Port Erin and they in turn commissioned the tower to be built in his honour. The tower is in the shape of a key hole. We went up the narrow spiral staircase to the viewing platform. The site of the Kodak ‘world's best snapshot competition 1931’ is 100 yards of the tower. imuseum.im/search/collections/archive/mnh-museum-290027.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow imuseum.im/search/collections/archive/mnh-museum-290027.html The photograph won the Kodak ‘world's best snapshot competition 1931’ was taken at 9pm on a July evening on Verichrome Kodak film using a 1a pocket Kodak camera. The first prize was £4,000 (as stated in the Isle of Man Examiner, 20th November 1931) and the winner was Charles W. Powell of East Didsbury, Manchester. (There was a plaque mentioning the photo, near the entrance of the tower. And it was also mention on a separate information sign for the tower.)

Rare shot of the two of us

A gentlemen heading in the other direction offered to take our shot, then we had a nice chat with him - his wife had died not so long ago and he was getting back into walking and cycling after having spent much of three years before his wife died in Liverpool hospitals. The memorial plaque reads "In memory of Jill Hartley 1956 - 2015 who often walked here and was exalted by the view" It was a wonderful view and we stayed here to have our lunch.
