Mysore Cottages, Albert Street, Ramsey

Archaeology

A pair of semi-detached cottages which are of single storey stone construction with slate roofs. Arched openings announce the entrance doorways and the roof is peaked above two of the stone mullioned windows, which break the eaves line. Three bold chimney stacks rise from the ridge line along the length of the roof.  No internal inspections were made. The cottages appear to be in good order. The pair of buildings have certain historic significance being built by the sister of the Manx Governor of Mysore (India) who died on his voyage back to retire to his island home.  Furthermore there is an architectural quality to the buildings quite distinct from usual Manx alms houses of the mid 19th century.
