Woollen bathing costume
 | Manx Museum Accession Number - 1954-7773 |
Douglas between 1890 and the 1930s was the equivalent of today’s Costa del Sol. Each summer crowds flocked to the Island for a week’s sand, sun and enjoyment. Even though Douglas beach was thronged with people, respectability was very much the order of the day, with beach huts and woollen bathing costumes protecting the modesty of both male and female bathers.
