[from Pigot's Directory, 1837]

RAMSEY with the Parish of Maughold.

RAMSEY is a market town and sea-port, principally in the parish of Maughold; 25 miles N. E. of Castletown, the like distance N. of Douglas, 16 N. E. of Peel, and 8 N. of Laxey; situate on the north eastern coast of the island. The houses are well built, the streets mostly spacious, clean and in good repair, but irregularly arranged around the market place, which was much enlarged and improved in 1830, and is now one of the most complete and convenient in the isle. The bay, in front of the town, is capacious, and affords perfect shelter from all storms not coming from the east; the anchorage is good, and the quay is furnished with a lighthouse. The harbour was materially improved in 1836, by the erection of an additional pier nearly parallel with the old one. From this port the principal part of the cattle, horses, grain and other produce not required for the home market, is shipped; the imports consist of coal, timber, drapery, iron mongery, &c. Many of the inhabitants are engaged, during the season, in the cod and herring fisheries; and Ramsey itself is a place of considerable business: there are three small hat manufactories, two breweries, and two extensive yards for ship-building, from whence vessels of from five hundred to six hundred tons are frequently launched. The river Sulby flows into the harbour of Ramsey; it is considered the largest stream on the island, and contains excellent trout. The road from hence to the Point of Ayre is carried over the river, near the town, by a bridge of three small arches. In 1760 the fleet taken by Commodore Elliot from the French Admiral Thurot, off the wessern coast of the isle of Man, was brought into Ramsey bay The court-house, which was erected in 1800, and repaired and improved in.this year--(1837)-, stands near the centre of the town: in it the high bailiff (whose Jurisdiction extends over the parishes of Andreas Bride, Jurby, Lezayre and Maughold,) holds a court every Saturday, for the recovery of debts under forty shillings ; the northern deemster, and also the vicar-general, hold courts once a fortnight and a court of common law sits in the months of Februray, May July and October.
