Three houses at the east end of New Bond St, Douglas

Date(s): 1932-1934

Creator(s): Frowde, John James

Scope & Content: On the back of this photograph Frowde writes, 'The three last very old houses at the east end of New Bond St, nos 20, 22 and 24 with the old cannon standing derelict and solitary in the foreground. Writing this 31.08.1934 with nothing left on the whole demolition area between Parade St and the Clarendon Hotel, form E to W and between the North Quay and Fort St from S to N (line drawn from the Clarendon to the Custom's House in Fort St) it seems incredible that all the houses and narrow streets, winding lanes etc, could have occupied the seeming small area, that, at present has been roughly surfaced as a parking place'.
