Village School - Port St. Mary, Isle of Man - Former Schools on Waymarking.com

The steam railway from Douglas to Port Erin was opened in 1874 and with it the station for Port St. Mary which is situated between the village nucleus and Four Roads. The combination of improved transport, an increase in population and the demand for seaside holidays resulted in a rapid expansion of the village from the 1880s.

One of the first developments was the construction of the Cliff Hotel (now Carrick Court apartments and previously The Golf links Hotel) constructed in 1882 by Mr Fred Callow.

A new estate company proposed extensive expansion of the village, that stretched to Perwick Bay, however only Queen’s Road and Clifton Road were constructed. To the north, the frontage to Chapel Bay (now The Promenade) was sold for division into building plots. A new school was opened at the junction of The Promenade and Bay
View Road; this has a date plaque of 1880.

At least part of the former school is now occupied by a firm of Advocates - 'Corlett Bolton & Co.'
