Ward & Lock's descriptive and pictorial guide to the Isle of Man ...

Douglas. 41Avenue, leads directly to the Loch Promenade ;the PrimitiveMethodist Chapel being at the corner.Having thus sketched an outline of the principal featuresof Douglas, viewed topographically, we have only to addthat it is not an expensive place. Apartments may, even inthe height of the season, be obtained on reasonable terms,and the price of necessary i^rovisions, bread, butchers' meat,poultry, &c., is lower than in most of the large towns ofEngland. Lamb is so abundant, that some visitors havebeen induced to wonder why sheep are not allowed to growup in the island. There is no scarcity, however, of mutton,and both are sold at a price below that charged by thebutchers of the metropolis.Douglas wears its gayest aspect on Saturday evenings andMondays, so many visitors coming from Liverpool on Saturdayiifternoon, with the intention of staying until Tuesday.MAN\.
