Albert Road school in Ramsey, which will finally vanish from Streetview after its demolition in 2011

Google will be back on the Island from next month, updating its street view after 15 years.

The company has issued a driving list update, and says it's due to start collecting Isle of Man imagery from Tuesday, July 1.

According to the list data, the special cars will spend up to four months here - with an end date of Sunday, November 30.

The last time Google cars were here for a full mapping was in 2010, and the website still shows landmarks Albert Road and Ballacloan Schools before they were demolished.
