A holiday camp was set up by wealthy mainland businessmen and philanthropists near to Peel for 50 orphan kids picked each year from Liverpool, Bootle and Birkenhead so as to give them a break from orphanage life in the big cities. It operated between 1885 and 1945, when it became redundant. It is now a modest YMCA youth hostel after renovation in 1987.
