The George Hotel on The Parade traces its name to at least 1793, when the Manx Mercury recorded an Assembly held at Downes's rooms at 'The George', run by an elderly former Manchester Regiment soldier. After Downes died in 1820 his widow continued the business until, around 1830, the inn was rebuilt by the Duke of Atholl to a design by architect John Welch, completed in 1834 with funds raised by subscription; a Mr Whittle later added bay windows, a balcony, kitchens and a gateway in the 1890s. Standing opposite Castle Rushen, the George Inn housed a large assembly room that made it the town's principal meeting place, and it briefly hosted sittings of the House of Keys when their own building was declared unsafe in 1817.

The Granary, on The Quay, is a former grain store in Castletown's historic harbourside terrace, registered as a Protected Building for its architectural or historic interest. Property records confirm its harbourside position among the row of former commercial and maritime buildings on the Quay, but no detailed documentary history of the building's construction or original operation was found.

The Highlander takes its name from a former coaching house and pub of the same name that once stood beside the road here, around the 5.1-mile point; the pub has since closed. The long straight it sits on is one of the fastest sections of the entire Mountain Course.

The Lifeboat House on The Quay served Castletown's Royal National Lifeboat Institution station until it closed in 1922, after which the neighbouring Douglas and Port St Mary lifeboats took over coverage of this stretch of the south coast. The former lifeboat house survives on the harbourfront as a reminder of the town's earlier role in the Island's maritime rescue service.

The Lodge stands on Braddan Road in Braddan, on the outskirts of Douglas, close by Braddan School, and is sometimes referred to locally in connection with the school site. It is registered as a protected building on the Isle of Man. No further verifiable detail about its construction date or history was found.

This building at 8 The Parade was registered in 1984 as the premises of the Manx Co-operative Store, a corner shop combining ground-floor retail space with residential storeys of coursed limestone above. Archive photographs from around the time of registration show the shop trading under the Co-op fascia, with period delivery vehicles outside, capturing the building in everyday use as a neighbourhood grocery in the years before its listing.

The Nook sits on Old Bemahague Road between Bedstead Corner and Governor's Bridge, around the 37.1-mile mark: a right turn at a small junction followed by a slight left and a short straight. The name comes from the Middle English word for a corner or recess, and this stretch keeps the original course alignment, having avoided the road realignments applied elsewhere nearby.

This is a registered shop and office building known as The Nook at Quarterbridge, Douglas, a well-known road junction on the Island. No further verifiable historical detail specific to this building could be confirmed; note that other places called "The Nook" and "Quarterbridge" elsewhere on the Isle of Man (including a landmark on the Mountain Road) are unrelated to this address.

The Old Chapel on Christian Street, Peel, appears on the Protected Buildings Register as 'Primitive Methodist Chapel', registered 31 October 2001. No further verifiable history of its construction or later conversion was found.

The Old Inn, on Parliament Lane, is a former public house registered as a Protected Building. The Island's own register lists the property under the alternative name "The Soup Kitchen", suggesting a later use of the building beyond its original licensed-trade purpose, though no further documented detail on either use was found.

Built at Gretch Veg on land donated by Mr and Mrs Kewley and rebuilt in 1870, the Minorca Primitive Methodist Chapel served the Minorca area on the northern edge of Laxey for almost a century. By 1892 Minorca had become a station of the Liverpool Primitive Methodist District together with Baldrine and Baldhoon, with 136 members and its own resident minister (Rev Carr held that post around 1911); its biggest day came in 1911, when the Liverpool and District Synod met there and hundreds travelled over from England. A separate Sunday School building was added across the road in 1898. The chapel closed in 1966 when its congregation merged with the Laxey Wesleyan Chapel, after which the building served in turn as a Salvation Army Hall, a brush factory, and a builder's workshop, before later restoration into a private residence now known as The Old Methodist Chapel. A related community venue, described as 'The Hall at Minorca Methodist Chapel', still hosts local groups such as the Laxey & Lonan Community Choir - it is not established from these sources whether this is the 1898 Sunday School building or a separate survival.

The Old Sail Loft stands on Shore Road at Underway in Port St Mary, within the old harbourside quarter of the village. Beyond its presence on the Isle of Man's register of protected buildings, no further verifiable historical detail about this specific building could be found online.

The Old Woollen Mills building at Tynwald Mills, St John's, is listed on the Isle of Man's Registered Buildings register as a former mill and now sits within the Island's well-known Tynwald Mills retail and craft complex. No further verifiable detail about the mill's construction date, ownership, or operating history was found online beyond this.

The Ornamental Gateway on Marine Drive, Port Soderick, is the surviving castellated entrance to the Marine Drive, the scenic clifftop road and tramway route built to link Douglas Head with Port Soderick from 1896. It stands as one of the few architectural remnants of the Victorian-era Marine Drive scheme, most of which, including its tramway, was dismantled by the mid-1950s after wartime closure.

The Powder House is a small, isolated stone building on the Langness peninsula near Derbyhaven, which served as a gunpowder store in an area otherwise marked by old mine workings, shipwrecks and coastal gun batteries and fortifications. Its deliberately remote position away from the peninsula's other structures reflects the obvious safety concerns of storing gunpowder. Beyond this, no further verifiable detail on its construction date or builder could be confirmed.

The Rocket House on Parliament Square/Parliament Lane takes its name from its original use: Isle of Man Government registration records identify it as the former H.M. Coastguard building, registered in 1984 as a house. The coastguard once used such buildings to store rocket-line apparatus used for shore-to-ship rescue, which is the likely origin of the present-day name.

This is the former school house on Quay Lane in Castletown, close to the harbour. Searches did not turn up verifiable specifics beyond its listing as a registered building and former school use, distinct from the town's better-known Old Grammar School on Castle Street.

River in the south of the Isle of Man, flowing through Ballasalla and Castletown into Castletown Bay. The Silverburn rises in the southern uplands and reaches the sea at Castletown. A.W. Moore listed it among the five largest streams on the Island, with the Sulby, Glass, Dhoo and Neb. Rushen Abbey was built on its western bank close to Ballasalla. The river therefore ran through the centre of one of the principal medieval ecclesiastical estates on Mann. The abbey's position beside the water was recorded in nineteenth-century descriptions of the ruins. At Ballasalla the river was crossed by the Crossag, or Monk's Bridge, considered by antiquaries to be the oldest surviving bridge on the Island and probably associated with the abbey. Further downstream the Silverburn passes Castle Rushen and enters Castletown harbour. The river and harbour shaped the position of both the castle and the town. One nineteenth-century account noted that at low water boats could be drawn up on the river banks while Castletown Bay provided shelter beyond. The river thus connected Rushen Abbey, Ballasalla, Castle Rushen and the harbour within a short distance.

The Smelt Memorial on The Parade, known locally as 'the candlestick', was erected by public subscription to honour Cornelius Smelt, the first royally-appointed Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man, following his death in 1832. Designed by architect John Welch as a column of the Grecian Doric order built from locally-sourced stone at a cost of £180, work began in 1836 and finished the following year. Smelt was greatly popular with the Manx people, and the monument remains the only one of its kind erected to a Lieutenant Governor; it stands on a site formerly occupied by an ancient market cross, and has been a registered building since 1984.

The Sound (Manx: Yn Cheyllys), also called Calf Sound, is the roughly 700-yard-wide tidal strait separating the southern tip of the Isle of Man from the Calf of Man, with the islet of Kitterland sitting amid its racing currents. The name Calf derives from the Old Norse 'kalfr,' meaning a small island lying close to a larger one. Strong tidal races run through the Sound -- the north-going tide begins about ninety minutes before high water at Dover -- and its waters are rich in seals, dolphins and seabirds, viewed today from the Sound Visitor Centre and Café on the clifftop above.

The Verandah is a stretch of four bends on the A18 Mountain Road at roughly 1,300 feet of elevation, around the 29.8-mile point of the TT course, where the road runs along a relatively flat shelf cut into the mountainside before reaching The Bungalow, with a steep drop-off on the left. It has twice been the site of fatal accidents: former winner Syd Crabtree went off the edge in fog during the 1934 Lightweight race and was killed, and Italian rider Gilberto Parlotti, then leading the 1972 125cc TT, died here in a crash that is widely credited with hastening the end of the TT's world championship status.

The Witches Mill, on Arbory Road, is regarded as the Isle of Man's oldest surviving windmill; a mill on the site is recorded in a court document as early as 1611. It takes its name from the Arbory witches said to have lived nearby, and folklore holds that after the original mill burned out in 1848, its round stone shell was used by them as a dancing ground. In 1950 the mill's outbuildings were taken over by Gerald Gardner, founder of the modern Wiccan movement, to house what was billed as the world's only museum devoted to magic and witchcraft, making the site a genuine focal point in the emergence of twentieth-century Wicca. It has since been converted into a four-storey holiday cottage.

The Three Anchors Tavern on Milk Street in London was a public house in the City of London. Its connection to the Isle of Man relates to the Island's administrative and commercial ties with the capital, where Manx deputations and agents conducted business with the English government.

Thurot Cottage, on Hill Road in Bride, was registered as a protected building in October 1990, with its outbuildings and gate separately registered in 1992. Beyond these official listings, no further published history of the cottage has been found.

Officially registered in 1991 as the 'warehouse building at 26 West Quay', this Ramsey harbourside property is now known as Thurwood Place. Its listing on the protected buildings register reflects its origins as a working harbour warehouse on West Quay, though no further detailed history has been found.
