A post-medieval workshop in Castletown.


Old photographs in the Manx National Heritage collections taken in 1953 suggest that this building was built as a commercial premises without any living accommodation, as there is no visual or physical evidence for chimney stacks.  The building is shown as a substantial undivided structure on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large scale mapping of 1867.


For much of the second half of the 20th  century it was used as a workshop by a local family building firm, and was thus referred to as Blackburn's Workshop.


The building has been converted into three separate dwellings.
