Daven Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 There is an old stone house called Rivelin Villa on Roscoe Bank at Rivelin. It's on the corner of Onchan Road. I wondered if anyone had any information about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 I apologise for 'bumping' this thread up, but I have recently discovered that a John Thomas Booth was living in this house in 1911. Has anyone any information about this house and it's occupants in the past please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me-and-pippo Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Four years on and I am again trying to find out more about this house - has anyone any information ? Maybe an addess will help, try 12 Onchan Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Maybe an addess will help, try 12 Onchan Road. Got that - thanks. My great grandfather, Harry Booth, lived in the house with his family some time after 1911. I have photographs taken of the house and of gatherings in the garden and was interested to know if anyone else had knowledge of the buliding and the occupiers before and after Harry lived there. Thanks for your contribution - much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DThor Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) My great great grandfather lived in a house called Rivelin Villa (somewhere around Liberty Hill) about 1870-1883. I was under the impression that he built it, but that could be wrong. Would love to see photos (old and new) and learn more about the property.
