Newsletter | Articles ILS gives 100-year-old war memorial a facelift A 100-year-old war memorial, which is the only surviving building of a popular holiday camp, has been given a facelift by ILS’s Isle of Man staff and directors. Our headquarters in the Isle of Man are on the grounds of the former site of Cunningham’s Holiday Camp, where we donned overalls and picked up paint brushes in a bid to clean up the former camp’s miniature castle as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. ILS director Karen Jones said: ‘The miniature castle is next to our offices and with it celebrating its 100th anniversary this year we felt it would be great if we could put something back into the community and brighten it up. ‘The castle has been left untouched for a number of years so it was in need of a clean and paint. It was also a great team building exercise for all the staff, who enjoyed their day out of the office.’ The miniature castle, which is on a list of proposed buildings to be listed, was built in 1907 as part of Cunningham’s Camp. Inside was a washroom and outside a spiral staircase led to a little turret where there was a searchlight, which campers would use to shine light on to Douglas Bay and on to courting couples on the slopes below. The Victoria Road camp was founded in 1904. In September 1914 the camp was requisitioned as an internment camp for enemy aliens and in World War Two as a training ground for the Royal Navy – HMS St George – which replaced the pre-war boy’s training centres. The castle took up its second role in Manx history as a World War Two memorial when the original memorial on the site was removed and its plaque was placed on the miniature castle.
