Enlarged froman early stereo view by Gregson of Strand Street, I think. Harris Prom opened in 1868. No sign of it in the photo. Wallace\'s Baths where 1st lifeboat house was on the Harris Prom later." Additional notes: \'"Where they could sniff the sea all day long". (Messrs Cox & Piper - WWJacob -"Twin Spirits" or "Choice Spirits".) Plate Collection." : "Note the broken building debris. Shore wall (R) was only 2ft 6 in above the Crescent Road surface. And in my boyhood, the shingle came nearly to the top of the steps. I can remember that there were steps but only one or two onto the shingle, which in this photo has a \'rocky\' and uncomfortable look for sitting on. It would seem that most of the stones on the N shore were a legacy from the builders of the \'Georgian\' Terraces on the Crescent."); by Manx National Heritage .
