Modern mill leat. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping of 1869 shows a building served by a leat, weir and millpond. Although not annotated as such, the building served as a mill, presumably for processing the agricultural produce of the farm. A 160m leat, drawn off from a weir in the stream which passes through the farmstead, provides the watersupply. The grid reference marks the site of the weir.

Modern millpond. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping of 1869 shows a building served by a leat, weir and millpond. Although not annotated as such, the building served as a mill, presumably for processing the agricultural produce of the farm. A small millpond stored waterpower for times of drought or heavy use, though the mill was otherwise supplied by a tributary watercourse which entered the stream just downstream of the dam. The grid reference relates to the centre of the former millpond for reference purposes. The millpond is drained, but the dam still stands.

A tumulus is shown on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map at the eastern side of the road here.  It now survives only as a slight mound in the field, best seen from the east, but is practically indistinguishable from the natural undulations of the field when viewed from elsewhere. It is thought that it could be the site of a Bronze Age barrow.

This is thought to be the site of an early medieval chapel or keeill.  A natural hill at Cronk y Croghee now has a flat top where a Wesleyan Chapel stood during the 19th century. There is now no trace of a building here. Two 12th century slabs were discovered buried in Cronk when the hill was being lowered some years ago for the improvement of the highroad which cuts through its western side. They are amongst the carved stones now displayed in St Michael's parish church.

A large cross slab with a carved, ring-head cross on one face, with human and animal figures. There are a runic and ogham inscription on the back of the stone. It measures 176cm by 43cm and is 10cm thick. It is now kept at St Michael's parish church.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A significant quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Whitestrand by CH Cowley. No further details concerning the discoveries were recorded and the grid reference relates to the farmstead for indicative purposes only. The antiquary Charles Harry Cowley was an avid collector of worked flint and coarse stone artefacts revealed by agricultural activity, mainly on farms located around Peel, and occasionally from further afield. He was active from 1900 until 1943. His entire collection of artefacts, together with a daybook cataloguing his discoveries, was later donated to Manx National Heritage.

William Bligh (1754-1817) was a Royal Navy officer and colonial administrator, best known as captain of HMS Bounty at the time of the mutiny led by Fletcher Christian in 1789. His connection to the Isle of Man is through the Christian family: Fletcher Christian was of Manx descent, from the Christian family of Milntown in Lezayre, and the mutiny brought international attention to this prominent Manx family.

William Brew was a Manx emigrant who settled in the Cleveland, Ohio area during the nineteenth century, forming part of the significant Manx community that established itself in the industrial cities of the American Midwest.

William Callow was one of seventeen named Manx merchants who signed a petition to the Governor in 1769 documenting the economic devastation caused by the Revestment of 1765.

William Cashin was involved in an assault against Daniel Laimster on the Isle of Man in May 1765, just days after the Revestment Act took effect. Laimster's petition against him is one of the earliest documented post-Revestment disputes.

William Christian is recorded in Northampton County, Virginia, in 1652. He was a member of the Christian family of Manx origin who settled in colonial Virginia, forming part of the early wave of Manx emigration to the American colonies.
