Mrs Kelly's house, no. 13 New Bond St, Douglas
Date(s): 1932-1934
Creator(s): Frowde, John James
Scope & Content: On the back of this photograph Frowde writes, 'Owing to the demolition, both sides, of N end of Bond Lane, it was possible for the first time, to get a full view of Mrs Kelly's house no 13 New Bond St. On the L side will be noticed the beaten footway of the narrow alleyway between nos 11 & 13 into Almshouse Lane. The W end of the old Grammar School also comes into view from a new angle, and the T E Brown tablet can be noted on the W gable. I took a photo of the tablet on a dull winter day, it was to be taken down the day after. This I have in my demolition pictures. I suppose it lies in the Town Hall cellar now; and where it can be placed later on is a problem. A fine (but puzzling) inscription to visitors, many of whom I have helped to decipher it, was from a design by my old friend Archie Knox. 'Here T E Brown was born 5.V.'30'' '.
