This building is now Registered Building No. 155 on the Isle of Man Registered Buildings Regiser.
The Register entry now that Ballure Inn is otherwise known as Snowdrop Cottage. The Registere entry is for 7 Ballure Road together with the barn/garage associated with 8 Ballure Road.
7 Ballure Road is a little whitewashed cottage, with one window and a porch which protrudes onto the pavement. To the rear there was a slate horse-tie, next to the door.
"The Manx Sun in 1836 pointed out that there were strawberries in bloom in the gardens of the Ballure Inn, Ramsey, a sign of a very mild winter perhaps. It was run by Horatio Merryweather, no pun intended!"
