Tommy Milner: Some folklore of Douglas
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 2023-12-04

A strange story from the Manx Electric Railway yard at the end of Douglas Promenade.

No one knows his history - where he came from, who put him there, or why - but a strange wooden figure stands at the top of one of the sheds at Derby Castle Yard.
Tommy Milner is his name, and he is treated as a bringer of good luck... or, at least, it seems that bad luck comes when he's ever not been there...!

The film is made to mark the Manx Electric Railway's 130th anniversary in 2023.
Presented by Andrew Scarffe.
Made at the Derby Castle Yard in Douglas, in May 2023.
With thanks to the Manx Electric Railway and Isle of Man Transport.
