taking our culture forward

A walk down the Neb river from Glen Helen to Peel, exploring the industrial sites that utilised the river's power for various purposes along the way.

Sam Knight speaks to David Callister about gorse, flax and corn mills, including those at Glen Moar, Tynwald Mills, Glenfaba and Peel. Also explored along the way are brickworks, quarries, bridges, tunnels and more. What emerges is a fascinating and little-known story of Manx industry in the past.

This recording was initially captured for ‘Time to Remember,’ a Manx Radio production supported by Culture Vannin.
