Description

From the Island's transport history, we hear of the Upper Douglas Tramway, a cable-car system that went from the Jubilee Clock, up Victoria Street and the steady climb to upper Douglas, then back down via York Road and Ballaquayle Road to the foot of Broadway. The line opened to the public at 8.00am on Saturday 15th August 1896. 

Our story in Manx tells of how y Kyaghan as y Roddan Ushtey meet and get to know one another on the river bank and then on the river itself - not any river, but THE river.
