Re: Poor House, Braddan
In Response To: Re: Poor House, Braddan ()

Yes, Susanne you are correct re the siting of the Poor house Braddan - it was at the Strang but as you say it has now been demolished. The House of Industry, Douglas is of course a completely different building. The Poor House became as you say the Mannin Infirmary but many old people thought of it still as the Poor house and dreaded going there.
