This wonderful photographic journey of the Isle of Man explores some of the remaining ‘Tholtans’ (a Manx word describing the ruins of old homes). Local historian and photographer Ray Kelly has been documenting these hidden treasures for many years and this volume presents some of his favourites. As well as being a fascinating and photogenic subject, these buildings also paint a picture of Manx life as it was lived in past times – truly a voyage exploring aspects of Manx culture and heritage which are fast disappearing. To complement the history of these buildings, the author has also collected a number of uniquely Manx tales, told here with humour and passion. Re-published by public demand, due for release on 18th July 2021.
