I now live in Rigside near Douglas where Annie lived. I used to work with her husband Archie in the local coalmine in Glespin. Sadly Annie passed away, but her family still live locally.(ritchie,Lesley,and Jim)who we think is in USA. Posted by brian burnside on 02 April 2013 Douglas cleanup To run alongside the Douglas Community Cleanup Weekend there is to be a cleanup of Douglas Community Woodland. It is Hoped to tidy up fly tipped and general litter from at least part of this community asset. Cleanup will start at 2pm on Sunday 4th Nov. As a token of our appreciation, there will be fireworks and a bbq available around our bonfire for all to enjoy. We look forward to seeing you there. Posted by Douglas on 01 November 2012 Working mans club Sorry I may be in the wrong place but not sure where to look first. I had grandparents in who I think lived (caretakers?) in a working mans club on the outskirts of Douglas. Their surname was Bruce, unfortunately my mother died, their daughter and we lost contact. I was only 7 at the time and have a only a few memories left but seem to remember it bordered onto some woods and had tennis courts in front. We used to work down a path besides these courts to collect the milk.I would be most grateful if someone could confirm if this really existed or whether I dreamt it all. I am now 61 and would desperately love to know. Many thanks. Posted by Susan Bryant on 08 October 2012 Hi, I think this may have been the miners welfare hall at Douglas West. Please look on the historical photos page of www.Douglasdalerealgroup.co.uk as there is a photo of the hall on that local website. Posted by JASON on 28 October 2012 Poem Hi, I am really hoping someone can help me here!? My late gran, (Helen Hastings who is orginally from Douglas) every christmas would tell us a poem she never had it written down she knew it off by heart. I can only remember the start of it and i have googled it but with no luck. The poem started:- " For grandfather when i was young it was poridge twice a day.... " I know its not much to go on but i would appreciate anyones help. Thanks Fiona Posted by Fiona Gibson on 05 October 2012 Website I am so impressed with this community website. How blessed is Douglas to have such talent. It's a brilliant one stop community shop and an example to other communities. I particularly enjoyed reading all the comments from people with Douglas connections. Douglas is clearly a very special place. Posted by Daye Tucker on 04 October 2012 Operation: Blockbuster, Grenade, Veritable, Plunder and so on Feb.-March 1945 Posted on 08 September 2011 website just to add my congratulations to the folk who do this site. it was a good buzz to come across it and see lots of names from the past. i was born in the cottage hospital in 1960 and left in 1971. it was a great place as a kid and ive been back a few times to visit, im only 20 miles away but its a different world and when i go back its a weird sensation, but nobody can take the memories away! thanks again Posted by Douglas Angus on 05 April 2010 View All Posts, Ever!
