A short video about one of Douglas' most famous residents in the hope that a small 130-year-old mistake might be rectified! Thanks to Glenn Whorrall for letting me use his drone footage of the Tower of Refuge.

With all the rain in recent weeks there's an unusual sight to be seen at the Sulby reservoir.

2023 saw a marvellous festival of heritage railways on the Isle of Man. This video takes a fond look at some of the highlights of the celebrations which commemorated 150 years of steam on the Island and 130 years of the Island's unique electric railway.

As the bi-annual Scooter Rally was on the Island at the end of June I thought it might be interesting to recall what a similar event was like in 1958.

In 2005 I made a video featuring various aspects of World War Two and the involvement of the Isle of Man for the grand Tattoo that was held on the Tynwald field at St Johns. This short extract is the section on D Day and features the memories of Manxman Arthur Corkill who was just 18 and was a signalman on one of the landing craft. The archive footage was provided by courtesy of the Imperial Wa...

Charles Guard takes a nostalgic look at Douglas Promenade during its tourist heyday from the 1920s to the 1970s.

Charles Guard takes a look at the exciting proposals for a new visitor entrance hub at the Great Laxey wheel.

A short video showing the latest developments in the unique maze being created in the grounds of Milntown.

In this short video Manx organist Gareth Moore demonstrates the one-manual Hewitt organ in St Paul’s church in Foxdale on the Isle of Man. The church is currently closed and a new home is being sought for the organ. In 1979, the organ was thoroughly overhauled by resident organ-builder Peter Jones who has looked after it ever since. Mechanically, it is remarkably reliable, having given no probl...

Dreembeary is a tholtan on the remote hillside at the back of Greeba Mountain. This is a short trailer of a video I will be posting later in the year revealing more about who built it and lived there, and why it was eventually abandoned.

Last year I made a short film highlighting some of the unsightly areas around Douglas and other parts of the Island, and I thought it might be interesting to revisit those sites and see if there have been any changes. In this new film I also take the opportunity to sound off about some other areas of concern which I very much hope someone in authority might be able to deal with.

Some shots of the tragic events unfolding at Laxey beach where excavation has caused a major landslip and endangered the houses above.

The impressive and dramatic scenes of when a storm hits the Isle of Man down at Groudle Glen.

One of the most fascinating archaeological sites on the Isle of Man is just outside Port Erin, and it's called Cronk Howe Mooar, locally known as the Fairy Hill. It's story is intriguing, unexpected and little known. In this short film Charles Guard explores the site and, with the help of some animations, recreates what it might once have looked like. This film is an extract from a longer progr...
