  See note on Photo. If it is oats or wheat we are in the wintertime as no leaves on trees. Normally it would be thrashed in the Autumn if it was for winter feed ?

• beachcomber australia said:

  Sharon Corbet Well done; no idea how you worked that out! Flickr is sometimes helpful! Hall Caine, novelist, lived in the castle for thirty-eight years (1896-1931 acccording to Wikipedia above) - manxliterature.com/browse-by-author/hall-caine/ Via Culture Vannin . . .

  Tommy Atkins is your generic British soldier. As in Kipling's poem www.uea.ac.uk/menu/acad_depts/edu/learn/braysher/tommy.htm The name is said to have been coined by the Duke of Wellington.

• owainmeurig said:

  Retired at last is correct these are Tommies neither is actually named Tommy Atkins.

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks to all of you for the information. This interesting assertion is confirmed by the dictionary. We'll add a note to the record the next time we update.

  Streetview

• DannyM8 said:

  I see a few dogs.

• M0GNM said:

  Just remembered a street rhyme "If you weren't so Ballymena with your Ballymoney You'd have a Ballycastle for your Ballyhome"

• Robin Parkes said:

  Still a great wee town. Nice to see one man "futtin" the ladder as we would say up here. Health and safety is not a new thing after all.
