I Work Next Door To Gestapo HQ

[Mark McShane]

Guys,

Browsing through the network at work and I came across these photos. They were taken when a film crew was in Castletown, Isle of Man, shooting the tv series Island At War. The series was set on a ficticious Channel island of St. Gregory. I saw a couple of episodes but never realised the location (I wasn't working here at the time, so thats probably why I didn't know).

This first picture shows the german Headquaters, its really a small hotel & bar called the George. The building to the left is a bank, it has its wondows boarded up and has an air raid shelter sign by its entrance. The buidling I work in is left of the bank, just of of this picture.

This is the building I work in, the locals seem to be quite content with their new Arrivals planting their flags all over the square!

This is another shot of the square showing the HQ and the bank/air raid shelter. The large building to the of the bottom of the square that has the windows boarded up really holds the Canada Life insurance offices.

The square

This picture shows the square looking away from the building I work in, a couple of trucks parked up. No doubt the traffic warden missed these!

Hope you enjoy these pictures.
