A trust is hoping work can start soon to transform an unused site in Port Erin into a heritage centre.

Rushen Heritage Trust is set to convert the former bus station site on Bridson Street in the town into a centre called Tree Archyn (Three trees) which will act as a multi-purpose base for the organisation to carry out its work.

Taking to social media, RHT says construction is expected to get underway in the near future and that it will keep people updated on any progress.

It's hoping to open its doors to the public from Easter 2021.
