Newby's Convenience, Ballaquayle Road / Duke's Road, Douglas
Place
Newby's Convenience is a corner shop and newsagent long associated with the junction of Ballaquayle Road and Duke's Road in Douglas, trading under a name that traces back to 1888. Per local knowledge, the business has recently moved two doors up Ballaquayle Road after its owner bought the larger building, out of the smaller corner unit it had previously leased; the coordinate given here is for the historic corner location rather than the exact current shopfront. Newspaper deliveries and a wider convenience-store range continue from the Ballaquayle Road branch; a second Newby's branch on Glen Falcon Road closed in recent years.
