It is, but I can't put up the google map for some reason.

Port Erin in the 1920's



And here is the beach hut on the right of this picture - well done granny.

If anyone wants to see it on Google Map :

Shore Road, Port Erin, Isle of Man


One of the oldest houses in Port Erin circa. 1734.

Here is a picture of the hill as it is today.

Well done Granny. Have a big cigar!

Thanks Pinz. Chriskay, clearly underestimated the skills of a freelance detective.
Lesson learnt, 'One can't judge a book by it's cover'

Well done super sleuths. I see Wales has moved! Still haven't repaired the stone wall--just whitewashed it. Cant believe the little shed thing is still standing by side of house

Sorry I underestimated your sleuthing abilities, Granny; well done. Keep an eye out for those co-respondent shoes.

I am in touch with Unilever Archives to try and date poster, in the mean time, here is another using the same logo.

*applauds* Great detective work, there!

Respect! Well done, fantastic bit of work.

It was the chimney stacks, those on DD's picture seemed a bit different or unusual.
I started looking for anything that might throw a bit of light on them. A site came up with a picture very like DD's and an article saying 'typical parapet gables' in Douglas, Isle of Man. With that, then started a search of the resorts in the Isle of Man.

Just lucky really.

Not luck at all; just great persistence.
