The language lived longer in Ohio than it would live on Mann. In the 1830s and 1840s, Manx was still a living tongue in Ohio — spoken in homes, in chapel, in the fields where they cleared the American forest. Pastor Cannell, the seventy-two-year-old Wesleyan who had crossed on the Ocean, held services in Manx in his own log house. No Governor could withdraw it. No bishop could declare it unnecessary. No school board could replace it with English, because there were no schools in the Ohio settlements that the Manx had not built themselves. The language died in Ohio too, eventually. Margaret Murray remembered the same pattern as on the island: the old folks would talk Manx when they did not want the children to understand. But for a time, the institutional supports that had sustained Manx on the island and been removed by the Revestment were unnecessary in Ohio — the Manx people had each other.
A record for the Manx Northern Railway which was a 3-foot gauge railway line which operated from 1877. In 1904, it amalgamated with the Isle of Man Railway. It ran from St John's to Ramsey, via Kirk Michael, Ballaugh and Sulby. The railway closed to passengers in 1968, and was dismantled in the 1970s.

This former warehouse was built in 1866 by Richard Rowe, the Captain of the Laxey Mines and was used as a grain store for the Laxey Glen Flour Mill and also for storing coal and corn. It was used as a smoking pipe factory from the 1960s until closure in the early 21st century.
The four storey building is constructed of stone with a hipped slate roof. The rectangular plan has been retained but otherwise the building has been completely renovated. The north facade has been left in approximately its original expression. The other elevations have been altered due to modernisation, particularly the main entrance from the quay. With the replacement of the original roof the attic space has been finished and a series of roof lights installed with superimposed ventilators. The four storeys of the main building have been retained. The building is set directly on the quayside with no enclosing parcel of land. No interior inspection has been made. The present state of repair appears excellent. The building represents a fine example of Manx stone industrial building.
